I think the correct answer would be 1/64. <span>A </span>negative exponent<span> just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line, so you need to flip the base to the other side. It is calculated as follows:
8^-2 = 1/8^2 = 1/64
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
45 = (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2)
45 = 3x + 3
- 3
42 = 3x
/3
14 = x
45 = 14 + (14 + 1) + (14 + 2)
45 = 14 + 15 + 16
The ages of the 3 friends are 14, 15, and 16.
It is -p... think about it.... two negative signs equal a positive sign, if there are an odd number of negative sign's the real answer is -p, and if there is an even amount, it means it is positive p. In your situation, there are 5 negative signs, so since 5 is an odd number, the p has to be negative.
4(-5y) + 2y = 180
-20y + 2y = 180
-18y = 180
y = -10
x = 50
Step 1: Find the slope.
Step 2: Find the value of b.
Step 3: Get the y=mx+b
