C. 9^4
when dividing with exponents, i usually just look at the exponents and subract them so i did 12-8 for this problem
If you're looking for the number of dogs (I'm assuming, you didn't specify), all you'd have to do is divide the number by two, then round down to find the number of dogs, then check your answer by adding that number and that number plus 5.
For example, yours would look like 125/6=62.5, and rounding down to 60.
Then check your answer by adding 60 and 65, the number of cats. 60+65=125.
There are 60 dogs inside the kennel.
11.5 beause you take the average of 12 and 11
The general equation for any circle with its center at point (a, b) is
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = (radius)²
So the circle in the question is centered at (-3, -4), and its radius is 3 .
