Answer:
a = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set x=0 and solve for y to find the y-intercept in each case.
first equation: y-intercept = -3/2
second equation: y-intercept = a
To make these equal, we must have ...
a = -3/2

Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
60 x 3 = 180 ($60 for each charity and there's 3 charities)
180 / (4/5) = 225 (if $180 is four fifths of his total just divide 180 by 4/5 to get the answer)
Answer:
5^3 y^5
125 y^5
Step-by-step explanation:
5y^3/(5y)^-2
Distribute the exponent in the denominator
5y^3/(5 ^-2 y^-2)
A negative exponent in the denominator brings it to the numerator
5y^3 5 ^2 y^2
Combine like terms
5 * 5^2 * y^3 5^2
We know that a^b * a^c = a^(b+c)
5^(1+2) * y^( 3+2)
5^3 y^5
125 y^5
