The rules are

x^a\cdot x^b = x^{a+b}

\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}

Let me show you why with a couple of examples: suppose we want to multiply

4^3\cdot 4^2

Since powers are just repeated multiplications, we have

4^3\cdot 4^2 = \underbrace{4\cdot 4\cdot 4}_{4^3}\cdot\underbrace{4\cdot 4}_{4^2}=4^5 = 4^{3+2}

Similarly, we have

\dfrac{4^3}{4^2} = \dfrac{4\cdot 4 \cdot 4}{4\cdot 4} = 4 = 4^1 = 4^{3-2}

What is the solution to the inequality <br> X+ (7 + 2x) &lt;-3x
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

x \:  <  \:- 1   \frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given inequality is

x+ (7 + 2x) <-3x

Expand parenthesis to get

x+ 7 + 2x <-3x

Group similar terms

x+ 2x +3x<-7

Combine similar terms

6x<-7

Divide both sides by 6

x \:  <  \:  -  \frac{7}{6}

Rewrite as improper fraction

x \:  <  \:- 1   \frac{1}{6}
