2(6+x) + 2x=56
12+4x=56
-12 -12
4x=44
÷4 ÷4
x=11

The measure of the width is 11ft
and the measure of the length is:
11+6=17ft

15) In your own words, write three or four sentences explaining what exponents are and how they are used in math

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Exponents

Step-by-step explanation:

exponents are basic short cut to write numbers like 100, 1000, 10000, 1000000 and so on.

Exponents can also be defined as 10 raised to a power x whether positive or negative

$10 {}^{x}$

They are mostly used in expressing units in standard form.

<h3>examples of basic positive exponents</h3>

${10}^{2} = 100$

$10 {}^{3} = 1000$

${10}^{4} = 10000$

${10}^{5} = 100000$

basically the power represent the the number of zeroes after the 1.

<h3>examples of basic negative exponents</h3>

${10}^{ - 2} = 0.01$

${10}^{ - 3} = 0.001$

${10}^{ - 4} = 0.0001$

$10 ^{ - 5} = 0.00001$

in negative exponents the power represents the number of zeroes before the 1. including the 0 behind the decimal point.

this is the basic lay down of how exponent work but one more quick example for maximum understanding

<h3>quick example</h3>

$4 \times {10}^{4} = 0.0004$

$4 \times {10}^{4} = 40000$

$8.69 \times 10 {}^{ - 3} = 0.00869$

$8.69 \times 10 {}^{ 3} = 8690$

hope you grasp the concept involved in multiplication with other terms.

cheers
