Answer:

Kyrie score = 25

Steph score = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

In a basketball game, Kyrie scored 5 less than twice as many as Steph. Combined the two scored 55 points.

Let us assume Kyrie score as x.

Combined score = 55

Hence Steph's score = 55-x

Also given that Kyrie scored 5 less than Steph

So $x+5 = 55-x$

Add x to both sides

$2x +5 =552x =50x=25$

Hence answer would be

Kyrie score = 25

Steph score = 30

Verify:

combined score = 25+30 =55

and 30 = 25+5

Verified

This rational expression is nonequivalent. 5x / 25x^4 ; x^3 / 5x^15<br> True or false?????

FromTheMoon [43]

It is nonequivalent. Figure it out this way. Think about what number has to be multiplied by both the numerator and the denominator of $\frac{5x}{25x^4}$ to get to $\frac{x^3}{5x^15}$ . It has to be the samee number for the one expression to be equivalent to the other. To get from 5x to x^3, we have to multiply by 1/5x^2. When we do that we get x^3. Good. Now we have to multiply the denominator by the same thing, 1/5x^2. $25x^4(\frac{1}{5}x^2)=5x^6$ . As you can see, they are not equivalent.
