Ahmad Conan deposited 60 quarters, 53 dimes, 44 nickels, and 50 pennies into his checking account. The total of the checks he deposited equaled $17 less than twice his total deposit. If Ahmad received 2 twenty-dollar bills in cash, what was his total deposit?

40 $

Step-by-step explanation:

He first deposited 60 quarters=15$, 53 dimes=5.3$, 44 nickels=2.2$, and 50 pennies=0.5$ Total 23$

23$+17$=2*(total deposit)

so total deposit = 20

"If Ahmad received 2 twenty-dollar bills in cash" - does not mean that he deposited those 40$

so total deposit = 20$

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
