Answer:
I'm assuming that you meant to type: The question is x/5=1/2+1/8 ; X= ?
If so, we're solving for x.
x/5 = 1/2 + 1/8
2 is a factor of 8, so let's start with common denominators.
x/5 = 1/2 *(4/4) + 1/8
x/5 = 4/8 + 1/8
x/5 = 5/8 As long as we just need to know the value of x, let's use inverse operations.
x/5 *5 = 5/8 *5
x = 25/8 or 3.125
Answer: This was a bit hard to understand, x times the 5th root of x
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply square roots of the same root and inside value, they essentially get rid of the square roots. So the first two terms boil down to just x. Then multiply x by the 5th root of x to get:
The distance in scientific notation is 5.6x10^5 miles. ^ is to the power of. Start from the right of a number and count the number of spaces till you get between the first two numbers, and that is how you get your exponent. It would be a different case if you had a decimal number though. For example the scientific notation of 0.00000256 would be 2.5x10^-6. You would count the number of spaces from the left to right and the exponent would be a negative.
That all adds up to $3.23 my friend
