Answer:
- 90
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate 1*- 5 then the outer one
1*- 5 ( with x = 1 and y = - 5 )
= 1(- 5) + 2(- 5)
= - 5 - 10
= - 15
Then
4*- 15 ( with x = 4 and y = - 15 )
= 4(- 15) + 2(- 15)
= - 60 - 30
= - 90
-5
Using rules of exponents we can change this equation to
y ^ (-9 * b) = y^45
-9*b = 45
b = -5
