<span>Exponent
is a number used to express shorter equation; it is a number that says how many
times you are going to multiply the base number.

Exponents have several laws, here are
some:
=> x^1 = x
=> x^0 = 1
=> x^-1 = 1/x
=> x^m x^n = X^m+n
=> x^m/x^n = x^m-n
And since we were asked to write an
expression with a negative exponent that has a value between 0 and ½
=> 2^ -2 = ½

Answer:
A) -7
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5y + 30 = 0
Let x = 5/2
Substitute into the equation
2(5/2) +5y +30 =0
5+5y+30=0
Combine like terms
35 +5y =0
Subtract 35 from each side
35-35 +5y = -35
5y=-35
Divide by 5
5y/5=-35/5
y = -7
