6(3x+8)+32+12x
6•3x+6•8+32+12x
18x+48+32+12x
30x+48+32
30x/80
0.375
50/X = 40/100
50 × 100 = 40 × X
5000 = 40X
5000/40 = 40X/40
125 = X
Answer:

<em>squaring a number is basically multiplying it by itself.</em> So
. Now obiviously 4 is greater than 2. But lets make the numbers like this:

And again, 
Now, which is bigger 
A quarter is smaller than a half right?
So in this case we can see that fractions raised to an exponent get smaller while numbers raised to an exponent get bigger.
