What is the value of b in the equation below? 9^-8 x 9^-2 = a^b
-10
-6
9
16

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

9^-8 x 9^-2 = a^b

We know that x^y * x^z = x^(y+z)

9^-8 x 9^-2 = 9^(-8+-2) = 9^(-10)

a= 9  

b = -10

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

anser is a
