Distribute ^4 to both 2 and q^5
2^4 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16
(q^5)^4 = q^20
16(q^20) = 16q^20
16q^20 is your answer
hope this helps
17.56 + 5x = 30.16
5x = 47.72
x= 9.544
hope this helps!!
w = -5 ; w = 7
Area = Length * Width
Length = 2w - 4
Width = w
70 = (2w - 4)w
70 = 2w² - 4w
2w² - 4w - 70 = 0
2(w² - 2w - 35) = 0
2(w + 5) (w - 7) = 0
w + 5 = 0 ; w -7 = 0
w = -5 ; w = 7
<span>w = -5 is not viable because no length of measurement is negative. </span>
