It's A. When you reduce between the x exponents in the original you get an xcubed on top. In A, when you reduce between the x exponents you get xcubed on bottom and they cancel each other out.
Answer: 7⁴, 7 to the fourth power, 7x7x7x7
Answer:
5 cows and 3 ducks
okay well there are 8 heads and each animal has a head meaning that there are a total of 8 organisms in total. Cows have 4 legs and ducks have 2. Lets say that c is cows and d is ducks. You would have the equations ...
c+d=8
4c+2d=26
well d techniacally = 8-c, so plug in (8-c) for the value of d
4c+2(8-c)=26. Distribute to get
4c+16-2c
and then add like terms. Soy ou would get
2c+16=26.
then just isolate the variable but subtracting 16 from both sides and dividing 2 on both sides. The answer you would get is that c=5 so there are 5 cows. Plug in 5 for c so you get 5+d=8 and tadaaaa you subtract 5 from both sides to get that there are 3 ducks.
hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios of the numbers shown in the table are all ...
y/x = 16/4 = 20/5 = 4
Then the missing y-value is ...
y = 4x
y = 4(2) = 8
__
And the missing x-value is ...
36 = 4x
36/4 = x = 9
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The x- and y-values in a "ratio table" are proportional to each other. That means the y corresponding to half an x-value will be half the y-value. In other words, the y for x=2 will be half the y for x=4, or 16/2 = 8.
Also, the values add. We notice that y=36 is the sum of y=16 and y=20. This means the corresponding x-value for y=36 will be the sum of x=4 and x=5, or x = 4+5 = 9.
To find how much was spent on fresh flowers, we just multiply 9% to the monthly budget, which is $18,000.
To multiply a percent to a number, we must first turn the percent into a decimal. Just divide the percent by 100 to get the decimal form. 9% is 0.09.

$1620 was spent on fresh flowers (that's quite a lot of money!)
