Step-by-step explanation:
By Law of Indices, a^m / a^n = a^(m-n).
Therefore a² / a⁸ = a^(-6).
x = -6.
Answer: -6p - 78
Step-by-step explanation:
-5 (3p + 3) + 9(-7 + p)
-15p -15 - 63 + 9p
-6p-78
What is the median of the data set? <br>

The median of a data set is the 'middle number'. You can find the median by listing the given numbers from least to greatest (left to right) and finding the middle number.
8, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18
Cross one out on each side before getting to your last number that should be in the middle.
The middle numbers are: 12 and 14. If it was only one number, we could already have the answer, but since it is two numbers in the middle, we need to add them up and divide by 2.
12 + 14 = 26
26 ÷ 2 = 13
So, the median of the data set is: 13.
Answer: x = -1 y = 4 I got my answer by solving for one variable in the first equation and then substituting what I got for that variable into the second equation in place of that aforementioned variable then solving for the last variable.
