1 divided by 18 is .111111111
So,
"six feet less than"
- 6
"the width"
w
w - 6
"six feet less than the width (w)"
w - 6
Answer:
a) 1/27
b) 16
c) 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 
One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

And now, solving for x = 9 we have:

b) 
This is already a positive rational exponent so we are just going to substitute the value of y = 8 into the expression

c) 
Using the same property we used in a) we have:

And now, solving for z = 16 we have:

Answer:
$2 for 1 rose bush and $2 for one shrub
Step-by-step explanation:
32=2x+14y
26=11x+2y
32=2(2)+14(2)
32=4+28
32=32
26=11(2)+2(2)
26=22+4
26=26
Since both equations come out correct the cost of 1 rose bush is 2 dollars and the cost of one shrub is 2 dollars. kinda cool
