Let p be the number of green picks added, so we have p green picks and 5+p picks altogether.
We didn’t add any orange picks so we still have 5 orange. Therefore 5/(5+p)=1/3.
Cross-multiplying: 15=5+p so p=10. In all we have 10+5=15 picks.
Use the formula a^(x/n) = (n)√a^x (note it is a small n)
(5x^4y^3)^(2/9) = Small 9
Convert.

Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 6x-5y=5
2) 3x+5y=4
ets perform the following operation
1) +2), This leads to the following equation:
6x+3x-5y+5y=5+4
From where we obtain the solution for x
9x=9
x=1
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
