PEMDAS
We start with exponents.
4 x 4 is 16
12 divided by 3 is 4
4 times 5 is 20
20-16 is 4
4 is the answer.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Negative three is less than (<) negative one, so any statement saying otherwise is incorrect. Correct choices are ...
-3 ≤ -1
-3 < -1
It seems most likely that ...
... Samantha will save $37.50 because she must first find the 25% sale price before taking the extra 50% reduction
_____
In the real world, it seems probable that Samantha will be offered the choice of using the coupon <em>or</em> the sale discount. If she chooses tht 50% coupon, her savings will be $30. If she chooses the marked sale discount, her savings will be $15.
The scenario above assumes she gets 50% off the sale price of $45, so saves $15+22.50 = $37.50 off the original price.
X^m means x times itself m times
(-6)^5 means -6 time itself 5 times
simplify it says
remember that
(mn)^x=(m^x)(n^x)
undistribute the -1
(-6)^5=(-1)^5 times (6^5)
(-1)^5=-1 since it is odd power
can be simplified to
-6^5
(note, -6^5 vs (-6)^5 PEMDAS)
