Answer:

7 & 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

2nd number = 8 less than 3 times the other

2nd number = 3x - 8

Their sum = 20

X + 3x - 8 = 20

4x -8 = 20

Collect like terms

4x = 20+8

4x = 28

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 28/4

X = 7

First number = 7

2nd number = 3x - 8

= 3(7) - 8

= 21 -8

= 13.

Therefore the numbers are 7 and 13

What is the simplified form of 5 square root x^4 • 5 square root x^4
laiz [17]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write each term into a fraction.

\sqrt[5]{x^4} becomes x^4^/^5

When you multiply 2 terms with the same base, you add the exponents.

x^4^/^5*x^4^/^5=x^4^/^5^+^4^/^5=x^8^/^5

x^8^/^5 is also the same as x\sqrt[5]{x^3}

You get this because \sqrt[5]{x^8} =\sqrt[5]{x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x}. When you pull out 5 os x, you are left with x³ on the inside.
