Ok, so first convert both the numbers to improper fractions. (Multiply the denominator of the fraction by the whole number and add the numerator of the fraction)
Then keep the first number the same, change the division symbol to a multiplication symbol and use the reciprocal of the second number. (flip the numbers so that the denominator becomes the numerator and the numerator becomes the denominator.)
Then simply multiply across.
7 + 28n + 4
28n + (7 + 4)
28n + 11
Answer: Gary needs to work more than 25hours for the week to earn above $400.
Step-by-step explanation:
For Gary to be paid $50 per week means he worked $50/ $15.50= 3.23 hours for the week.
To make over $400 this week he needs to work for
400/15.50 = 25.81 hours and more for the week to earn above $400
The rule for multiplying similar bases with exponents is:
(a^b)*(a^c)=a^(b+c)
In this case you have:
(x^9)(x^2)
x^(9+2)
x^11
