To analyze the expression \( 7(-5.3)^0 + 4 \cdot 9 \) and apply the Zero Power Rule, we know that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Therefore, \( (-5.3)^0 = 1 \).

Substituting this back into the expression, we have:

\[
7 \cdot (-5.3)^0 + 4 \cdot 9 = 7 \cdot 1 + 4 \cdot 9 = 7 + 36 = 43
\]

Now, let’s evaluate the provided options based on our simplification:

1. **75.30 + 36**: This simplifies to \( 75.3 + 36 \), which does not equal our result of 43.
2. **Start Fraction 7 over 5.3 superscript 0 baseline End Fraction plus 36**: This suggests \( \frac{7}{(-5.3)^0} + 36 \), which translates to \( 7 + 36 \), not equal to 43.
3. **70 + 4⋅9**: This is equal to \( 70 + 36 \) which equals 106.
4. **Start Fraction 7 over 0 End Fraction plus 4 times 9**: This is undefined as division by zero is not valid.
5. **Start Fraction 7 over 1 End Fraction plus 4 times 9**: This suggests \( 7 + 36 \), which is equal to 43.
6. **75.3 + 4⋅9**: This simplifies to \( 75.3 + 36 \), which does not equal our result of 43.

The equivalent expression to \( 7(-5.3)^0 + 4 \cdot 9 \) when applying the Zero Power Rule is:

**Start Fraction 7 over 1 End Fraction plus 4 times 9** (which equals \( 7 + 36 \)).

To find an equivalent expression for \( 12(9 - 70) + (-29)^0 \), we first simplify the expression step by step.

1. **Evaluate the Zero Power**:
\((-29)^0 = 1\) (since any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is 1).

2. **Substituting the Zero Power Result**:
Now we can rewrite the expression:
\[ 12(9 - 70) + 1 \].

3. **Simplify Inside the Parentheses**:
Calculate \( 9 - 70 \):
\[ 9 - 70 = -61 \].

4. **Substituting Back**:
Now the expression is:
\[ 12(-61) + 1 \].

5. **Calculate**:
While we won't strictly calculate this to a final number since we are looking for equivalent expressions, we note that the whole expression simplifies to:
\[ -732 + 1 = -731 \].

Now, let's evaluate the provided options to determine which one is equivalent:

1. **\( 12(9 - 0) + 0 \)**:
Simplifies to \( 12 \cdot 9 + 0 = 108 \), which is not equal to our result.

2. **Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction left parenthesis 9 - 0 right parenthesis plus 0**:
Simplifies to \( \frac{1}{2}(9) + 0 = 4.5 \), which is not equal to our result.

3. **\( 12(2) + 1 \)**:
Simplifies to \( 24 + 1 = 25 \), which is not equal to our result.

4. **\( 12(9 - 1) - 1 \)**:
Simplifies to \( 12(8) - 1 = 96 - 1 = 95 \), which is not equal to our result.

None of the provided options represent an equivalent expression to \( 12(9 - 70) + (-29)^0 \).

However, if we were to find an error in the options (assuming +1 should be + 0 somewhere), the closest comparable treatment for format could be visible. But based on the inputs given, there appears to be no correct equivalent.

If these are the only options and I am to select one based on similar formatting or structure, please clarify if the starting expression includes additional conditions or if approximations yield something.
