1 answer:

No! Remember, you see a negative exponent, that just means the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So 1 over negative 2 to the third power, to the positive third power. And this is equal to 1 over negative 2 times negative 2 times negative 2. ... So this is equal to negative 1/8.

Find x !!?????!!!????????????

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Find x

The figure in the attachment is a quadrilateral and the angles in a quadrilateral add up to 360.

So, we have:

90 + 6x + 5+ 10x - 40 + 4x + 5 = 360

Collect like terms

6x + 10x + 4x = 360 - 90 - 5 + 40 - 5

20x = 300

Divide both sides by 20

x = 15

Hence, the value of x is 15
