Cost of goods sold - expenses = net income
do this for each year and compare.
The Answer is a b¹⁰
Simplify the following:
(a^5 b^6 b^4)/a^4
Combine powers. (a^5 b^6 b^4)/a^4 = a^(5 - 4) b^(6 + 4):
a^(5 - 4) b^(6 + 4)
5 - 4 = 1:
a b^(6 + 4)
6 + 4 = 10:
Answer: a b^10
Equation for Kelli's earning = 20x + 100
Equation for Karl's earning = 25x + 50
Now, 20x +100 = 25x +50
25x-20x = 100-50
5x = 50
x = 10
So, your answer is 10 hours.
Hope this helps!
