Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x + 3) = 9x + 16 + 3x

Distribute the 4

4x +12 = 9x+16+3x

Combine like terms

4x+12 = 12x+16

Subtract 4x

4x-4x+12 = 12x-4x+16

12 = 8x+16

Subtract 16

12-16 = 8x+16-16

-4 =8x

Divide by 8

-4/8 =8x/8

-1/2 =x

(10x^3y^-2/5x^-3y^4)^-3, x≠0, y≠0

zhenek [66]

Answer:

$\dfrac{y^{18}}{8x^{18}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

a^-b = 1/a^b

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

Your expression simplifies as follows:

$\left(\dfrac{10x^3y^{-2}}{5x^{-3}y^4}\right)^{-3}=(2x^{3-(-3)}y^{-2-4})^{-3}=(2x^6y^{-6})^{-3}\\\\=(2^{-3})x^{6(-3)}y^{(-6)(-3)}=\dfrac{1}{8}x^{-18}y^{18}\\\\=\boxed{\dfrac{y^{18}}{8x^{18}}}$
