Answer: x = -13

=========================

Work Shown:

19 = 38/2

19 & 1/2 = 19 + 1/2

19 & 1/2 = 38/2 + 1/2

19 & 1/2 = (38+1)/2

19 & 1/2 = 39/2

-------

In the original equation, replace the "19 & 1/2" with "39/2" to get

(5/2)x + (1/2)x = 39/2 + (9/2)x

Each term involves a fraction with a denominator of 2. If we multiply both sides by the common denominator, then the fractions will cancel out

For example: 2*(5/2)x = (10/2)x = 5x

So after multiplying both sides by 2, you should have this new equation

5x + 1x = 39 + 9x

--------

Let's solve that latest equation for x

5x + 1x = 39 + 9x

6x = 39 + 9x

6x-9x = 39 + 9x-9x ... subtract 9x from both sides

-3x = 39

-3x/(-3) = 39/(-3) .... divide both sides by -3

x = -13

Can someone please help me with my maths question

Answer:

$a. \ \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}$

$b. \ \dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates with rules of indices

(a) The give expression is presented as follows;

$\dfrac{m^3 \times \left (n^{-2} \right )^4 \times (5 \cdot m)^4}{\left (3 \cdot m^2 \cdot n \right )^3}$

By expanding the expression, we get;

$\dfrac{m^3 \times n^{-8} \times 5^4 \times m^4}{\left 3^3 \times m^6 \times n^3}$

Collecting like terms gives;

$\dfrac{m^{(3 + 4 - 6)} \times 5^4}{ 3^3 \times n^{3 + 8}} = \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}$

$\dfrac{m^3 \times \left (n^{-2} \right )^4 \times (5 \cdot m)^4}{\left (3 \cdot m^2 \cdot n \right )^3}= \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}$

(b) The given expression is presented as follows;

$x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \div (x \cdot y^n)^4$

Therefore, we get;

$x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \times x^{-4} \times y^{-4 \cdot n}$

Collecting like terms gives;

$x^{3 \cdot m + 2 - 4} \times \left (y^{3 \cdot n - 3 -4 \cdot n}} \right ) = x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \times \left (y^{ - 3 -n}} \right ) = x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \div \left (y^{ 3 + n}} \right )$

$x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \div \left (y^{ 3 + n}} \right ) = \dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}$

$x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \times x^{-4} \times y^{-4 \cdot n} =\dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}$

Which is the graph of the system of inequalities

Leni [432]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Try testing each graph by picking a point on the shaded region or none shaded region.

-1/5 and 6= y-intercept

4/5 and 2= slope

You may notice that it is in y-intercept form. So to find where the shaded region goes, test a coordinate and apply it to the equation, if the answer is false, than half of the line is not where the shaded region goes.
