By buying two shirts, Frank will save $35 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$35 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$350}{100} \) = $3.50 on the second shirt.

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{5b^5}{9b^2} \)
\( \frac{5}{9} \) b^{(5 - 2)}
\(\frac{5}{9}\)b³

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

2\( \sqrt{12} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{4 \times 3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
(2)(2)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{3} \) + 7\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

A number with an exponent (b^e) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b¹ = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b⁰ = 1).
