Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, x, represent the value of Dave's markers. You then make the equation (5x+x=18) because both markers combined is 18 and Sheila has 5 times the markers of Dave so her value would represent 5x. Solving the equation would get you x=3 BUT THAT IS THE VALUE OF DAVE'S MARKERS! The question asks for Sheila's with is 5*3. So the answer is 15 markers.

Hello!

$\large\boxed{x^{4}}$

Recall that:

$\sqrt[z]{x^{y} }$ is equal to $x^{\frac{y}{z} }$ . Therefore:

$\sqrt[3]{x^{2} } = x^{\frac{2}{3} }$

There is also an exponent of '6' outside. According to exponential properties, when an exponent is within an exponent, you multiply them together. Therefore:

$(x^{\frac{2}{3} })^{6} = x^{\frac{2}{3}* 6 } = x^{\frac{12}{3} } = x^{4}$
