Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a reciprocal is a number that when multiplied by a given number gives 1 as product.
16 * x = 1
x = 1/16
9/10 * x = 1
x = 10/9
5(a - 2b) - 3(a - 2b) |use distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac
= 5a - 10b - 3a + 6b
= (5a - 3a) + (-10b + 6b)
= 2a - 4b

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...
x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box
70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes
We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.
(70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)
20x = 1100 . . . . simplify
x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20
Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.
55 +y = 85
y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55
A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.
When multiplying the same number raised to different powers add the powers together.
3 + 2 + 5 = 10
Because you are also multiplying a value without a power you need to add 1 to the sum of the powers:
10 + 1 = 11
Answer: 6^11
