<u><em>Part 1:</em></u><u>Before we begin, you need to remember the following rule:</u>

<u>The given expression is:</u>

Since the base is the same in both numerator and denominator, we can apply the above rule. <u>This means that:</u>

= 12¹⁻³ = 12⁻²
<u><em>Part 2:</em></u><u>Before we begin, you need to remember the following rule:</u>
x⁻ᵃ =

Now, <u>from part 1</u>, we simplified the expression into 12⁻²
Since the power is negative, we can apply the above rule.
<u>This means that:</u>
12⁻² =

Hope this helps :)
To solve this, follow these steps:
5x + 27 = 9 (x+3) - 4x
Distribute the 9 within the parenthesis:
5x + 27 = 9x + 27 - 4x
Then combine like terms:
5x + 27 = 5x + 27
These two then cancel each other out completely.
This is an identity because an identity in math is when both equations equal each other, which is shown above.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
B. 203.403
Step-by-step explanation:
2 times 100 = 200
3 times 1 = 3
4 times 1/10 = 0.4
3 times 1/1000 = 0.003
200 + 3 = 203
203 + 0.4 = 203.4
203.4 + 0.003 = 203.403
