Solve :
1/2(x + 32) = -10....multiply both sides by 2
x + 32 = -10 * 2
x + 32 = -20
x = -20 - 32
x = - 52 <===

check :
1/2(x + 32) = -10.....when x = -52
1/2(-52 + 32) = -10
1/2(-20) = -10
-20/2 = -10
-10 = -10 (correct)

1/2(x + 32) = -10

(x + 32) = - 20

x = -32 - 20

x = - 52

To write this expression as a positive exponent we use this rule of exponents: x^color(red)(a) = 1/x^color(red)(-a) 5^-3 = 1/5^(- -3) .

Blake said 4/5+1/3 =5/8 does his answer make sense explain. please help

Tatiana [17]

Hey there!

The answer is no because whenever you add or subtract fractions, you find the common denominator(the bottom of the fraction)

Corret way:
The common denominator is 15 (5*3)
Multiply numerator(top) and the denominator by 3
4/5*3*3= 12/15
Multiply numerator and the denominator by 5
1/3*5/5= 5/15
So the equation is now
12/15+5/15= 17/15 or 1 2/15

Hope this helps! :)
