Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Every time you multiply both sides of a rectangle by a number x, its area if multiplied by $x^{2}$ .

In our example:

Area of a rectangle = width . length

width = 4

length = 7

$A_{1}$ = 4 . 7 = 28

When you multiply both sides by 7:

width = 4 . 7 = 28

length = 7 . 7 = 49

$A_{2}$ = 28 . 49

$A_{2}$ = 1372

$A_{2}$ / $A_{1}$ = 1372 / 28 = 49 = $(7)^{2}$

Both sides multiplied by 7 => Area multiplied by $7^{2}$

Got it?

Solve the variable Show ALL steps. -25 + x = 37

vodomira [7]

Answer:

x=62

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add + 25 to both sides because when you have a negative you have to add.

2. When you add 25 to 37 you get 62.

therefore 62 is the answer

pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

kaheart [24]

Answer:

First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

$\left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}$

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

Step 1

$\text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 2

$\text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}$

Step 3

$\text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 4

$\text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}$

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

$\left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}$

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.

WORTH 49 POINTS! How far away is -5 to |-5|?

diamong [38]

|-5| is equivalent to 5, since that is how far -5 is from 0.

So, the question is simplified to: How far away is -5 from 5?

We get 5-(-5)=10.

Remember, absolute value is always positive (expect for 0) and the distance between two numbers is always positive (expect for 0).
