Step-by-step explanation:

You need to remember the properties of exponents: multiplication adds the exponents, division subtracts the exponents.
If you multiply two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the sum of the powers.
If you divide two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the difference of the powers.
In your case you will this:

That is:

Or:

You would subtract how many times Dion tagged bill with how many times bill tagged Dion, so 12 - 7 = 5
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The quotient is the result of dividing x by 5
The expression is then
15 -
→ D
Remember that x/4 and 1/4*x is the same thing.
1/4*52 is therefore the same as 52/4. Fractions represent division, so 52 divided by 4 is also correct.
0.25*x is the same as 1/4*x because 1/4=0.25
4% of 52 is incorrect because the decimal form of 4% is 0.04, which is not the same as 0.25
Final answer: B
