Answer: -5 x -5
The exponent two means the other number multiplied 2 times, so the equation is -5 x -5. The answer to the equation is -25.
Hope this helped you out!
Think about the rule when multiplying powers together.
When multiplying two powers that have the
same base, simply add their exponents.
In this problem, each power has a base
of <em>a</em> and our exponents are <em>m </em>and <em>n</em>.
So adding these exponents together, we have a^m + n.
Step-by-step explanation:
A shipping company charges $6 to ship a package that weighs up to 1 pound and $2 for each additional pound or portion of a pound.
lets make an assumption that the total weight of the shipment is x pound and cost for shipping is y.
the shipping company charges $6 for the first pound.
Up to now the charge is y=6
After 1 pound, i.e for the remaining (x-1) pounds, they charge $2 per pound.
So, the total charge will be, y=6+2(x-1)
weight is always starting from zero as there is no negative weight.so X>0
so the equation is 6(2x-1), where X is more than 0
As 100%=1.0
8%=0.08
8.25%= 0.0825
