X = dull pencils
y = sharp pencils
x + y = 100
y = x + 16 ~~Plug this back into your original x+y equation.
x+x+16=100 ==> 2x = 84 ==> x = 42. Plug this back into the y = equation
y = 42 + 16 ==> y = 58.
42 Dull, 58 sharp.
3^(-4) means "one over 3^4"
1/(3^4)
That's equal to
1/81
and
(1/3)^4
This is also equal to 3^2/3^6.
So four of those are correct.
