If we are given x such that 25^x-9^y=18 and 5^x-3^y=3, compute 5^x+3^y.

25 = 5*5 and 9 = 3*3, which we can exploit to write

25^x-9^y=(5^2)^x-(3^2)^y=5^{2x}-3^{2y}=(5^x)^2-(3^y)^2

so that this expression is actually a difference of squares. We can factorize this to get

(5^x-3^y)(5^x+3^y)=18

and given that 5^x-3^y=3, we divide both sides by this to get

5^x+3^y=\dfrac{18}3=\boxed{6}

Which are correct representations of the inequality -3(2x - 5) <5(2 - x)? Select two options.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The third and fourth options.

Step-by-step explanation:

You simplify the inequality first...

-6x + 15 < 10 - 5x

-x < -5

x > 5

The first option is incorrect since it is less than.

The second option is basically -5x < 15; x > -3; that's incorrect.

The third option is basically -x < -5; x > 5; that is correct!

The fourth option is correct since it shows more than 5.

The fifth option is incorrect because it shows less than -5.

Hope this helps!

Use the information in the figure to find m &lt; D
Artemon [7]
The measure of angle D is 39 degrees.

Since it’s an isosceles triangle, the two unmarked angles are equal. Since you know there are 180° in a triangle, subtract 102° from 180° to get 78°. Then, cut that in half since you need to divide it equally among the two remaining angles.
