According to order of operations rules, exponentiation must be done first. Thus, we have
(3^2)*(3^2) = (9)(9) = 81.
Alternatively, note that there's only one base (3) here, even tho' it shows up more than once. So, 3^2*3^2 = 3^(2+2) = 3^4 = 81.
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
4*(2*x-6)-(10*x-6)=0
2x - 6 = 2 • (x - 3)
8 • (x - 3) - (10x - 6) = 0 -2x - 18 = -2 • (x + 9)
-2 • (x + 9) = 0 Solve : -2 = 0
<span>This equation has no solution.
</span>A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
Solve :
x+9 = 0 <span>
</span>Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation :<span>
</span> x = -9
I'd say the answer is 5 wins
hope this helps
