Ahh yes, negative exponents always give us a scare once and a while. All the negative means is to flip the position of its base. For instance, if x has a negative exponent and x in the denominator, all you would have to do is move x to the numerator with the same power (except it's no longer negative). Before we substitute x and all the other variables which the values given, let's eliminate the negatives first.
After flipping positions/eliminating the negative exponents it should look like this:

which simplifies to

now that everything is simplified, and all negative exponents are eliminated we can substitute x with 2, and y with (-4).

which simplifies to

Final Answer: - \frac{1}{32} [/tex]
Answer:
a) What is the amount off the original price?
= $8.4
b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?
= $33.6
Step-by-step explanation:
a) What is the amount off the original price?
We are told that:
The sale price is 20% off the original price.
Original price = $42
Hence:
$42 × 20%
$42 × 20/100
= $8.4
b) What is the new price for the pair of shoes?
The new price =
0riginal price - Amount off the original price
= $42 - $8.4
= $33.6
The original price = $33.6
