Answer:

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = poonams age

Let s = shalini's age

p = 5s

p+s = 72

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

5s+s = 72

Combine like terms

6s= 72

Divide by 6

6s/6 = 72/6

s = 12

p = 5s =5*12 = 60

Shalini = 12

Poonam = 60

Which expression is equivalent to 5^3?

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

5^3 - 5^0 = 125 - 1 = 124, so it's not A

5^12 / 5^4 = 5^(12-4) = 5^8, so it's not B

5^7 * 5^-4 = 5^(7+(-4)) = 5^3, so it can be C

5^0 * 5^3 = 5^(0+3) = 5^3, so it can be D

5 + 5^2 = 5 + 25 = 30, so it can't be E

HELP ME ASAP for 37 points!! which expression is equivalent to 14.5d+8.5-1/2d+1/2+2.5d

lina2011 [118]

Equivalent expressions are expressions with equal values

The equivalent expression is 16.5d+9

<h3>How to determine the equivalent expression</h3>

The expression is given as:

14.5d+8.5-1/2d+1/2+2.5d

Express the fractions as decimals

14.5d+8.5-0.5d+0.5+2.5d

Collect like terms

14.5d-0.5d+2.5d+8.5+0.5

Evaluate the like terms

16.5d+9

Hence, the equivalent expression is 16.5d+9
