7. It is a 3/9 chance he will pick 2 items that are black. There are only 3 things that are black and the rest are other colors.
8. It is a 2/9 chance he will pick a pant and a shirt that is white. There is 1 white pants and 1 white shirt.
That is all I know. Number 6 kind of confuses me. Hope I helped!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying rules of exponents to solve the given problems;
4^3 x 4^5 =
5^8 ÷ 5^-2 =
(6^3 ) ^ 4 =
For these problems, the applicable rules of exponents are;
aᵇ x aⁿ = aᵇ⁺ⁿ
aᵇ ÷ aⁿ = aᵇ⁻ⁿ
(aᵇ)ˣ = aᵇˣ
For the first problem; 4³ x 4⁵
aᵇ x aⁿ = aᵇ⁺ⁿ
4³ x 4⁵ = 4³⁺⁵ = 4⁸
Second problem: aᵇ ÷ aⁿ = aᵇ⁻ⁿ
5⁸ ÷ 5⁻² = 5⁸⁻⁽⁻²⁾ = 5⁸⁺² = 5¹⁰
Third problem; (aᵇ)ˣ = aᵇˣ
(6³)⁴ = 6³ˣ⁴ = 6¹²
Answer:
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2 = 17
We can subtract 2 from both sides:
x + 2 - 2 = 17 - 2
x = 15
Answer: x = 15
