Start by distributing the exponent to each of the terms in
. This will become
, and
. Now, the expression is:
.
We can now simplify the bottom to read:
because when multiplying variables raised to an exponent, we add the exponents. The expression now looks like:

The 2/8 simplifies to 1/4:

Now, we have two u terms on the top and bottom. When dividing variables raised to an exponent, we subtract the exponents. However, since 3-5=-2, the term will be on the bottom to avoid the negative exponent. The final answer is:

Hope this makes sense!!
Answer:
WV should be equal to XY
Step-by-step explanation:
since it is the HL postulate meaning hypotenuse and leg, we need to show that the hypotenuses of both triangles are equal since we are already given that one of their legs are congruent. we are also given that they are right triangles.
X+y=10 in y-intercept is y=-x+10. 10 is the y intercept. The ordered pair is (0, 10)
