You are given the information that he takes six lessons per week. First we will calculate the total lessons he could potentially take per year.
6 • 52 = 312
He could potentially take 312 lessons in one year.
Now that you know this information, you simply subtract the days he missed from that total.
312 - 5 = 307
Your final answer: Peter took 307 lessons during the year.
I think what you mean is:
Then using our rules of exponents, this is the same as
(6x^4) + (15x^3)(y^2) + (3x^2)(y^3) is your answer
As we are looking at descending powers of x. Look at the powers of the x. In the first one (6x^4), the power is 4, and 4 is greater than the other numbers given (3 & 2). Therefore, the order given above is correct.
hope this helps
