Answer:
None of the above. 16 3/2 simplified is
Mixed number: 17 1/2
Improper fraction: 35/2
Step-by-step explanation:
A x = 0
using the law of exponents 
= 1
for (6² )^ x = 1 then x = 0
B note that 
= 1 ⇒ x = 1
2 → 2^8 × 3^(-5) × 1^(-2) × 3^(-8) × 2^(-12) × 2^(28)
= 2^(8 -12 + 28) × 1 × 3^(- 5 - 8)
= 2^24 × 3^(- 13) = 2^(24)/3^(13) = 10.523 ( 3 dec. places)
What you want to do is cross multiply so you get 5(x+4)=7(3x+28) then you distrubute the 5 and then you distribute the 5 and the 7 to the number in the parentheses 5x+20=21x+196
subtract 5x on both sides to get 20=16x+196 then you subtract 196 on both sides to get -176=16x last what you want to do is divide 16 on both sides to get x=-11
84 blue marbles.
Steps:
1) Use the 3:7 ratio
2) Since there are 36 red marbles, you should know to multiply the ratio by 12.
3) Multiply 7 by 12 (7x12=84)
