Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.

Len [333]

<u>Answer:</u>

1. $(-2^2)^{-6}$ ÷ $(2^{-5})^{-4} \implies 2^{-32}$

2. $2^4 . (2^2)^{-2} \implies 1$

3. $(-2^{-4}).(2^2)^0 \implies -2^8$

4. $(2^2).(2^3)^{-3} \implies 2^{-5}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1. $(-2^2)^{-6}$ ÷ $(2^{-5})^{-4}$ :

$= \frac{ ( - 2 ^ 2 ) ^ { - 6 } } { ( 2 ^ { - 5 } ) ^ { - 4 } } = \frac{2^{-12}}{2^{20}} = 2^{-12-20}=2^{-32}$

2. $2 ^ 4 . ( 2 ^ 2 ) ^ { - 2 }$ :

$= 2^4 \times \frac{1}{2^4} = 1$

3. $(-2^{-4}).(2^2)^0$ :

$= (-2^4)^2 \times 1 = -2^8$

4. $(2^2).(2^3)^{-3}$ :

$= 2^4 \times \frac{1}{2^9} =\frac{1}{2^5} =2^{-5}$

Colby wants to set up square tiles on the top of a wooden box. The top of the wooden box is a rectangle 7 1/2 inches long and 5

Andrei [34K]

Yes he can, because when the area of the top of the box is divided by 3/4, you get a whole number, meaning there would be no tile pieces left over, which means that he could cover the top. SEE PICTURE FOR WORK.

Y= -x +3 and y = x - 1

inysia [295]

Answer:

x=2 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite equations:

y=−x+3;y=x−1

Step: Solve

y=−x+3

Step: Substitute−x+3foryiny=x−1:

y=x−1

−x+3=x−1

−x+3+−x=x−1+−x(Add -x to both sides)

−2x+3=−1

−2x+3+−3=−1+−3(Add -3 to both sides)

−2x=−4−2x−2=−4−2

(Divide both sides by -2)

x=2

Step: Substitute2forxiny=−x+3:

y=−x+3

y=−2+3

y=1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Hope this Helps you :)
