Answer:

5^{10} \cdot 5^{-7} = 5^3

\frac{5^{10}}{5^{-7}} = 5^{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have two equations:

5^a \cdot 5^b = 5^3

\frac{5^a}{5^b} = 5^{17}

But since

x^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b}

you only need to solve a+b = 3 and a-b=17

Rewrite the second as a = 17+b and plug it into the first:

17+b + b = 3, then you find, 2b = -14, so b = -7.

Then a=3-b, so a = 10.

(5x – 3y + 8) + (-3x + 6y - 3)​
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

2x+3y+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we remove the parenthesis since there is nothing in front of it.

There is a “+” sign in front of the parenthesis, it stays the same.

Secondly, we combine like terms. We combine the x’s, the y’s, and the normal numbers without a variable.

Finally, after combining the like terms. You end up with “2x+3y+5”.

Matteo has &amp;400 in his saving account. On average he spends $10 per week on buying apps. Luca has $200 in his savings accoun
n200080 [17]

Answer: By the 8th week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time that matteo and luca have the same amount of money be represented by x.

The information given in the question can be formed into an equation as:

400 - 10x = 200 + 15x

Collect like terms

400 - 200 = 15x + 10x

200 = 25x

x = 200/25

x = 8

Matteo and Luca will have the same amount of money by the 8th week.

If £2000 is placed into a bank account that pays 3% compound interest per year,
klemol [59]

Answer:

£2,121.80

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the compound interest formula:

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First, change 3% into a decimal:

3% -> \frac{3}{100} -> 0.03

Now, plug in the values:

A=2,000(1+\frac{0.03}{1})^{1(2)}

A=2,121.80

Your answer is £2,121.80
