Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 12x - 2(x + 9) = 5(x + 4) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

- 12x - 2x - 18 = 5x + 20 , that is

- 14x - 18 = 5x + 20 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

- 19x - 18 = 20 ( add 18 to both sides )

- 19x = 38 ( divide both sides by - 19 )

x = - 2 → A

Which is the simplified form of the expression ((2 Superscript negative 2 Baseline) (3 Superscript 4 Baseline)) Superscript nega

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The option "StartFraction 1 Over 3 Superscript 8" is correct

That is $\frac{1}{3^8}$ is correct answer

Therefore $[(2^{-2})(3^4)]^{-3}\times [(2^{-3})(3^2)]^2=\frac{1}{3^8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is ((2 Superscript negative 2 Baseline) (3 Superscript 4 Baseline)) Superscript negative 3 Baseline times ((2 Superscript negative 3 Baseline) (3 squared)) squared

The given expression can be written as

$[(2^{-2})(3^4)]^{-3}\times [(2^{-3})(3^2)]^2$

To find the simplified form of the given expression :

$[(2^{-2})(3^4)]^{-3}\times [(2^{-3})(3^2)]^2$

$=(2^{-2})^{-3}(3^4)^{-3}\times (2^{-3})^2(3^2)^2$ ( using the property $(ab)^m=a^m.b^m$ )

$=(2^6)(3^{-12})\times (2^{-6})(3^4)$ ( using the property $(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$

$=(2^6)(2^{-6})(3^{-12})(3^4)$ ( combining the like powers )

$=2^{6-6}3^{-12+4}$ ( using the property $a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}$ )

$=2^03^{-8}$

$=\frac{1}{3^8}$ ( using the property $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$ )

Therefore $[(2^{-2})(3^4)]^{-3}\times [(2^{-3})(3^2)]^2=\frac{1}{3^8}$

Therefore option "StartFraction 1 Over 3 Superscript 8" is correct

That is $\frac{1}{3^8}$ is correct answer
