12x - 4y = -8
y = 3x + 2
Rewrite the first equation
12x + 8 = 4y
3x + 2 = y
As you see, the first and second equation are actually the same, meaning there's an infinite number of solutions.
When you divide two fractions, you do Keep, Change, Flip or KCF. So you keep the 3/5, you change the division sign to a multiplication sign, then flip the 3/15 to 15/3. So the new equation is 3/5x15/3. Then you simply the two sides so it becomes 1/1x3/1.....
Meaning the answer is 3.
The answer is 13 hope this helps
The equivalent expression is 5^(4) * 3^(-10)
<h3>How to determine the equivalent expression?</h3>
The statement is given as:
five raised to the negative second power times three raised to the fifth power end quantity all raised to the negative second power
Rewrite properly as:
(5^-2 * 3^5)^-2
Expand the expression by multiplying the exponents
So, we have:
5^(-2 -2) * 3^(5 *-2)
Evaluate the products
5^(4) * 3^(-10)
Hence, the equivalent expression is 5^(4) * 3^(-10)
