Step 3 is wrong because when dividing exponents you subtract them x^-10 would be multiplying by x^-12 making it x^-10-12 and that would be x^-22 same applies for the y exponents

Answer:

Step 3: exponents of the same base are added during division.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been an expression and steps used to solve the expression. We are asked to find the 1st incorrect step.

Expression: (\frac{x^{-5}y^2}{yx^3\cdot x^3y^{-5}})^2

Step 1: We will distribute the exponent as:

\frac{x^{-5\times 2}y^{2\times 2}}{y^{1\times 2}x^{3\times 2}\cdot x^{3\times 2}y^{-5\times 2}}

\frac{x^{-10}y^{4}}{y^{2}x^{6}\cdot x^{6}y^{-10}}

Step 2: Combine the exponents in denominator.

\frac{x^{-10}y^{4}}{y^{2+(-10)}x^{6+6}}

\frac{x^{-10}y^{4}}{y^{-8}x^{12}}

Step 3: Use quotient rule of exponents \frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}.

\frac{x^{-10}y^{4}}{y^{-8}x^{12}}=x^{(-10-12)}y^{4-(-8)}

\frac{x^{-10}y^{4}}{y^{-8}x^{12}}=x^{(-22)}y^{4+8}

\frac{x^{-10}y^{4}}{y^{-8}x^{12}}=x^{(-22)}y^{12}

Therefore, the student made a mistake in 3rd step as the exponents of the same base are added during division.

Uber charges 1.75 for pickup plus 0.50 per mile. Omar paid 4.25 for a ride. How many miles did he travel?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Omar Traveled 5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up a two step equation, .50x (x is our variable for miles driven) then +1.75= 4.25. Then Subtract 1.75 from itself and from 4.25. You get 2.5, bring everything down. You are now left with .50x=2.5 divide each side by .50 . 2.5 divided by .50 equals 5 and .50 divided by itself is zero, bring down the x and the 2.5. It should now look like this x = 2.5 That is your answer.
