Hello there.

<span>One number is 4 less than a second number. twice the second number is 16 less than 5 times the first. find the two numbers
</span>
Answer: Call the first number x.
First number is x.
Second number is x + 4.
This is the equation presented.
2(x + 4) = 5x - 16.
2x + 8 = 5x - 16.
16 + 8 = 5x - 2x
24 = 3x
x = 8.
x + 4 = 12.
The two numbers are 8 and 12.

Hope This Helps You!

Answer:

$21^{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply the 3 and the 7 together, and then "multiply" the exponents -8 and 3. (However, when "multiplying exponents, you're really just adding them together: -8 + 5)

( $21^{-5}$ )^2

Then, multiply the -5 and -2 together, giving you:

$21^{10}$
