Represent 'a number' by x
7 times x equals 9 more than 4 times x
7 times x=9+4 times x
7x=9+4x
subtract 4x from both sides
3x=9
divide 3
x=3

the number is 3

Which is the simplified form of the expression ((p squared) (q Superscript 5 Baseline)) Superscript negative 4 Baseline times ((

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

$q^{-30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

$((p^2) (q ^5)) ^{-4} X ((p ^{-4}) (q^5)) ^{-2}$

First, we open the outer brackets

$=(p^{2X-4}) (q ^{5X-4})X (p ^{-4X-2}) (q^{5X-2})\\\\=(p^{-8}) (q ^{-20})X (p ^{8}) (q^{-10})\\\\$Next, we can collect like terms\\\\=p^{-8}Xp ^{8}Xq ^{-20}Xq ^{-10}\\\\$Applying addition law of indices\\\\=p^{-8+8}Xq^{-20+(-10)}\\\\=p^0 X q^{-30}\\\\=1 X q^{-30}\\\\=q^{-30}$
