Apply the Zero Power Rule to create an equivalent expression to 9-(-33)+(8-27). (2 points)

9-(-33)+(8-270)=-+-

1 answer

To apply the Zero Power Rule, we first need to simplify the expression \(9 - (-33) + (8 - 27)\).

  1. Start with \(9 - (-33)\):

    • Subtracting a negative is the same as adding, so this becomes:
    • \(9 + 33 = 42\)
  2. Now simplify \(8 - 27\):

    • This is straightforward:
    • \(8 - 27 = -19\)
  3. Now combine the results:

    • \(42 + (-19) = 42 - 19 = 23\)

Thus, the equivalent expression for \(9 - (-33) + (8 - 27)\) is:

\[ 23 \]

It seems like you mentioned using the Zero Power Rule, but it may not directly apply to this arithmetic evaluation. If you have a different context or operation in mind, please clarify!
