This is the concept of indices. To re-write the question as instructed we proceed as follows:
b^-6×b^11
according to the rules of indices, when we multiply the number which have the same base, we add their powers. In our case this will be:
b^-6×b^11
adding their powers we get:
b^(-6+11)
=b^5
the answer will therefore be b^5
consecutive integers have a difference of 1 between them
let the brothers have ages n , n + 1 and n + 2 thus
n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 96
3n + 3 = 96
subtract 3 from both sides of the equation
3n = 96 - 3 = 93
divide both sides by 3
n = 
= 31
The ages are 31 , 32 and 33
Answer:
$12.40
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set this up as .20 x 62 which will give you $12.4 or $12.40. You get .20 by converting 20% to a decimal. Also you can simply put 60-20% on a calculator.
The equation in slope-intercept form would be y = 0.4x - 1
hope this helps!!
Put one unit at top and other unit bottom. X for unknown
5 gallon / 20 hours = x gallons / 48 hours
Cross multiply
20x = 5*48
20x = 240
X= 12
