40/1 is the same 80/2 120/3 160/4
Since 6x - 44 and 88 degrees are the same (exterior angles), we can start off with the first equation, 6x - 44 = 88
6x - 44 = 88
+44 +44
6x = 132
÷6 ÷6
x = 22
same with the second problem (exterior angles are equal):
equation:
15x + 6 = 9x + 54
-6 -6
15x = 9x + 48
-9x -9x
6x = 48
÷6 ÷6
x = 8
Hope this helped! :D
Answer: 
Explanation: Denominators of a fraction can be equivalently written as their value to the power of negative 1. In this case the denominator expression itself has an exponent of 6, which taken to the power of negative one becomes -6:
