5 ^-2 = 1/5^2
The answer is C.
Answer:
b. x+1..........................
The missing fraction would be
since it is exactly in the halfway between
Find the greatest common factor (GCF)
in this case it would be 9
divide each term by the GCF
36 / 9 = 4
9y / 9 = y
put the two "new" terms in parenthesis and the GCF in front of it
9 (4 + y)
it could also be 9 (y + 4) because of Commutative Property of Addition
