Answer:

$\frac{25}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply exponent rule: $x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}$

$(\frac{4}{5}) ^{-2}=\frac{1}{\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2}=\frac{1}{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{25}{16}$

The drama club is selling T-shirts and caps to raise money for a spring trip. The caps sell for $5.00 each, and the T-shirts sel

Zinaida [17]

The required inequality is $5x+10y\geq 500$

Solution:

Given that,

Cost of 1 cap = $ 5

Cost of 1 t-shirt = $ 10

Let "x" be the number of caps sold

Let "y" be the number of t-shirts sold

The drama club needs to raise at least $500.00 for the trip

Based on this information, we can frame a inequality as:

number of caps sold x cost of 1 cap + number of shirts sold x cost of 1 shirt $\geq$ 500

Which means,

$x \times 5 + y \times 10\geq 500\\\\5x + 10y\geq 500$

Here we used "greater than or equal to" symbol , because club needs to raise at least $ 500

They can raise 500 or more than $ 500 also

Thus the required inequality is $5x+10y\geq 500$

Which is the best estimate of x based on rounding the constants and coefficients in the equation to the nearest integer 6.15 (x

artcher [175]

Your answer would be x = 12.41

6.15 (x - 8.86) = 21.83
*6.15 * 6.15

6.15x - 54.49 = 21.83
+ 54.49 + 54.49

6.15x = 76.32
/6.15 /6.15

x = 12.41
