Pronoun Question

They went to the supermarket to buy groceries, but the husband and wife came home empty-handed.

Trouble with Exponents

Holy cow, exponents and roots are giving me huge problems. I know the rules but I never see the manipulations. Are there any basic guides out there that people know if where I can get a good understanding. I'm talking like 6th grade stuff.

Anything helps.

Thanks!

Totally Hit or Miss on RC

I'm either hitting batting 40% or 90% on these but I feel like a lot has to do with the mind set I'm in when I get them. If I am tired I can struggle but if I am fresh it's a different story.

Any suggestions?
