To solve, we will need to plug in -5 for x in both instances.

|-5 + 2| / -5 + 2

|-3| / -3

Now, these absolute value bars may be a bit puzzling. What we have to do is take the absolute value of the number inside of the brackets. Meaning, that if the number is negative, we make it positive, and if the number is positive, then it stays positive.

3 / -3

-1

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the value for x (-5) into the equation: $\frac{|(-5)+2|}{(-5)+2}$

Simplify: $\frac{|-3|}{-3}$

Take absaloute value to simplify further:

(All absaloute value means (which is what these bars represent: | |) is how far away a number is from zero, so the number will always be its positive counterpart if it is not already positive):

$\frac{3}{-3}$

Now simplify (divide 3 by -3) to get your answer:

-1

Answer:

$x^{1}$ wives

$x^{2}$ sacks

$x^{3}$ cats

$x^{4}$ kits

Suppose the man in the St. Ives poem has x wives, each wife has x sacks, each sack has x cats, and each cat has x kits. Write an expression using exponents that represents the total number of kits, cats, sacks, and wives going to St .Ives.

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^{1}$ wives

If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, so the number of sacks is:

$x^{2}$ sacks

If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, and each sack has "x" cats, so the number of cats is:

$x^{3}$ cats

If each of the "x" wives has "x" sacks, and each sack has "x" cats, and each cat has "x" kits, so the number of kits is:

$x^{4}$ kits
