10^-10 in decimal form is 0.000000001. Because the exponent is negative, you move the decimal point ( decimal point is at the end of 0 of the base number 10) 10 place to the right of 10 and u get the answer above. I discarded the 0 later in the answer because now that you've moved the decimal, that 0 have no value. But when forming it in decimal you have to use that 0 or you will get a wrong answer, instead of eight 0's, you will end up with nine 0's.
the associative property of addition. Try and memorize the different properties. youll need to know them later on. I hope this helped!
x = total amount of students in 8th Grade.
we know only one-thrid of the class went, so (1/3)x or x/3 went.
we also know 5 coaches went too, and that the total amount of that is 41.

now, to verify, well, what do you get for (108/3) + 5?
