off sale. Jared says that he can find the sale price of a regular priced item (
p
) by evaluating the expression

What is the missing step in this proof ?

Dean and karlene get paid to write songs. dean is paid a one-time fee of $20 plus $80 per day. karlene is paid a one-time fee of $25 plus $100 per day. write an expression to represent how much a producer will pay to hire both to work the same number of days on a song.

Consider this expression and the steps to evaluate it. 4^5(−2)^9/4^8(−2)^3 1. apply the quotient of powers:      (−2)^a/4^b 2. evaluate powers:           c/d select the value of each variable. a = _ b = _ c = _ d = _
