Pretty sure the distributive property my friend
Answer: x = 6.56
Step-by-step explanation: -0.4x - 0.5 + x = 3.63
-0.4x^2 - 0.5 = 3.63
-0.4x^2 = 4.13
0.63x = 4.13
x = 6.56
Answer:
-8100
Step-by-step explanation:
(2/5)^-2(-3)^4
Given data
and second term
The first term= (2/5)^-2 and
Second term=(-3)^4
Simplify the first term
(2/5)^-2= 2^-2/ 5^-2= 1/2^2 * 1/5^2
=1/4/ 1/25
=1/4*25/1
=100
Simplify the second term
=(-3)^4
= -81
Hence, 100*81
=-8100
