Answer:

factor out 5^19

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Reason from parity:

both 5^20 and 5^19 are products with only odd numbers (5) as factors. Hence each is an odd number. The difference of odd numbers is always even.

b) Factor:

5^20 -5^19 = 5^19(5 -1) = 5^19×4

This product has an even factor (4), so is even.

Answer:

see below PLEASE GIVE BRAINLIEST!!

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 2.40A ≦ 9.60

B) You can choose to purchase between 0 and 4 avacados. 4 is the maximum you can buy because 2.40 x 4 = 9.60 and that is all the money you have and more than 4 would make the equation incorrect. 0 is the least you can buy since you can't purchase a negative amount of something.

So, A ≦ 4
