Answer:

12x = 14

simplify x=7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2x+6)1/5 ║ (-8+10x)1/5

Then you'll times 1/5 to every number in the (bracts) on both sides

1/5 · (-2x) = -2/5x ║ 1/5 ·(-8) = -8/5

1/5 · (6) = 6/5 ║ 1/5 · (10x) = 10/5→ 2/1 = 2

Now you have -2/5x + 6/5 = -8/5 + 2x

Next you will subtract 6/5 from both sides and it would be

-2/5x + 2x -14/5

then you will subtract 2x from both sides and it would be

-12/5x = -14/5

Then you will multiply both sides by 5

which is 12x = 14

simplify x= 7/6

decimal x= 1.16667...

When comparing answers on a group assignment, Jenny and Jeremy found that their answers did not match. Part 1: Who do you believ

PART 1:

Jeremy gives the correct answer.

The value of 0.41 [with a bar over the digit 4 and 1] shows that the digit 4 and 1 are reoccurring = 0.414141414141414141....

Jenny's assumption of 41/100 will give a decimal equivalency of 0.41 [without a bar over digit 4 and 1]. This value is not a reoccurring decimal value.

PART 2:

The long division method is shown in the picture below

PART 3:

As mentioned in PART 1, the result of converting 41/100 into a decimal is 0.41 [non-reoccuring decimal] while converting 41/99 into a decimal is 0.41414141... [re-occuring decimal]. The conjecture in PART 1 is correct
