Simplify the left hand side by multiplying the terms in the parenthesis by 3/4, i.e. divide them by 4 and multiply them by 3:

$\dfrac{3}{4}(8x-4)=7x+2 \iff 3(2x-1)=7x+2 \iff 6x-3 = 7x+2$

Subtract 6x from both sides:

$-3=x+2$

Subtract 2 to both sides:

$x=-5$

Distribute 3/4 into the parentheses, set the equation equal to each other. subtract 7 from both sides of the x’s equation and then solve.

Which expression is equivalent to (r^-7)^8

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

1/r^56

Step-by-step explanation:

Not sure if you did a typo there or what cus 7 x 8 should be 56

Whenever the power of a number is negative, you flip. So r^-7 becomes 1/r^7

Remove the bracket and distribute 8 to the power of 1 and r^7

1 to the power of 8 will still be 1, r^7 x 8 = r ^ 56

A 10-foot ladder is leaning against a tree. The bottom of the ladder is 4 feet away from the bottom of the tree. Approximately h

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we were to draw a horizontal line from the bottom of the ladder to the bottom of the tree and then draw a vertical line from the bottom of the tree to the top of the ladder, we'd get a right triangle with legs as the distance between the bottom of the tree and the bottom of the ladder and the height of the ladder, and the hypotenuse is the length.

Here, we know the hypotenuse is 10 feet and that the bottom of the ladder is 4 feet away from the bottom of the tree, so use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height:

h = $\sqrt{10^2-4^2} =\sqrt{84}$ ≈ 9.2 feet
