To reach the solution of the equation correctly, the process is as follows:
We have:

On equating the powers for the same base, it results in -6 = 8a, which implies an error in the premise of equating terms when their bases were not identical.
Angles that are opposite to each other when two lines cross are equal, therefore angle 1 is equal to angle 4. This also implies that angle 1 = angle 5. When a line crosses two parallel lines, the angles corresponding to each other are equal. So, if r and s are parallel, the angles that are formed when line l intersects line r are equal to those when l intersects line s. Thus, we have angle 1 = angle 5, angle 2 = angle 6, and so on. Hence, since angle 1 is equal to angle 5, we deduce that lines r and s are parallel.
The expression for calculating a percentage is whatever% of anything is simply (whatever/100) * anything.
The total 800 + 1250 + 120 + 625 + 65 equals 2860.
Rhonda does not earn a commission on the first 2000, only on the excess amount, which is 860.
Calculating 15% of 860 involves (15/100) * 860.
