<span>Numbers
are those integers used in a certain equation. For example: 5, 10, 5/4, 11,
.1542, -100; these are all numbers despite its differences, may it be negative
or positive number, may it fraction or decimals.
Variables refer to the letters used in a certain equation. For example, 5x, x
is the variable used. This is usually used to represents unknown numbers.
And lastly operation and symbols, Operations are used to add, subtract, divide
and multiply the given equation. Symbols are used to get the square root of a
given number and more.</span><span>

Answer:
the sales tax rate is 5.50%
Step-by-step explanation:
B is -5 and C is -2. Since -5 is the first number, a(1) is bc^0 and that would make c = 1. B would need to be -5. In the second number, since we know b is -5, c would need to be -2 and anything to the 2-1 is just the same value.
Hi there!

Find the total area by breaking the figure into two rectangles, one trapezoid, and one triangle.
Rectangles:
A = l × w
A = 2.75 × 4 = 11 in²
Solve for the other rectangle's length by subtracting from the total:
12 - 2 - 3 - 4 = 3
A = 3 × 3 = 9 in²
Total rectangle area: 11 + 9 = 20 in²
Trapezoid:
A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h
A = 1/2(4.25 + 2.75)3 = 21/2 = 10.5 in²
Triangle:
A = 1/2(bh)
A = 1/2(2.5 · 2) = 2.5 in²
Add up all of the areas:
20 + 10.5 + 2.5 = 33 in²
