Answer:
(a) 64/25
Step-by-step explanation:
The relevant properties of exponents are ...
a^0 = 1 . . . . a ≠ 0
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
(ab)^c = (a^c)(b^c)
__
Your expression simplifies to ...

If the length of a rectangle is 3m longer than its width, then:
L=W+3
Is the area really 154^2? Or is it 154m^2? If yes, then:
A=LW
154=(W+3)(W)
154=(W^2+3W)
0=W^2+3W-154
0=(W-11)(W+14)
This means either (W-11) or (W+14) is equal to zero so:
W=11 and W=-14
To find out let's substitute the numbers:
154=(11+3)(11)
154=154
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 11m
14+x=84
x=70
The team lost 70 games.
84+70=x
154=x
The team played a total of 154 games.
