The answer is [(10,000*y^16)/t^16]. At first, you have to distribute the exponent -4 to the numerator and denominator by virtue of the law of exponent, (a/b)^n = [(a^n)/(b^n)]. After distribution, you get (t^-16)/[(10^-4)*(y^-16)]. To simplify the negative exponent, follow the law of exponent: a^-m = 1/a^m. Thus, you now have [(10^4)*(y^16)]/(t^16). Hence, the answer is [(10,000*y^16)/t^16].

Answer: 1728 dollars</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
1 yard = 3 feet
We'll divide by 3 to convert from feet to yards
- 27 feet = 27/3 = 9 yards
- 18 feet = 18/3 = 6 yards
The basement is 9*6 = 54 square yards in floor area.
At $32 per square yard, the total cost to carpet the floor is 32*54 = 1728 dollars.
Let x represent the amount of 10% solution used.
Let y represent the amount of 25% solution used.
Since 30 liters of 15% solution are being made, our first equation is
x + y = 30
Now we deal with the actual peroxide in each solution.
x liters of 10% peroxide contain 0.1x liters of peroxide.
y liters of 25% peroxide contain 0.25y liters of peroxide.
30 liters of 15% peroxide contain 0.15 * 30 = 4.5 liters of peroxide.
From this information, we can write our second equation.
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
We have a system of equations:
x + y = 30
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
Multiply the first equation by -0.25 and add to the second equation.
-0.25x - 0.25y = -7.5
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
---------------------------
-0.15x = -3
x = 20
Answer: 20 liters
Explanation: Just like any of your two-step equations,
in this inequality, start by isolating the x term which in this
case is -3x by subtracting 5 from both sides.
That leaves you with -3x < -24.
To get x by itself, divide both sides by -3 but watch out.
When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a
negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign.
So we have x < 8 and put your final answer in
set notation and it look like this → {x: x < 8}.
