We have:

x - 3y = 4

Pass -3y to the second member of equation

x = 4 + 3y

Now replace on the other equation tge value of x

2x + y = 7

2.(4 + 3y) + y = 7

Do the diatributive

2 ×4 + 2×3y + y = 7

8 +6y+y = 7

8 + 7y = 7

7y = 7 - 8

7y = - 1

y = -1/7

Now replace y = -1/7 in any equation

x = 4 + 3y

x = 4 + 3 . -1/7

x = 4 -3/7

x = (4×7 -3)/7

x = 25/7

Answer:

x = - $\frac{57}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4}$ (x - 3) - 5 = $\frac{1}{8}$ (x - 1)

Multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions

6(x - 3) - 40 = x - 1 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

6x - 18 - 40 = x - 1

6x - 58 = x - 1 ( subtract x from both sides )

5x - 58 = - 1 ( add 58 to both sides )

5x = - 57 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = - $\frac{57}{5}$

Answer: a) 15625, b) 0.2, c) 625, d) 0.008.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

a) $(5^2)(5^3)$

As we know that

$a^m\times a^n=a^{m+n}$

So, it becomes,

$5^2\times 5^3=5^{2+3}=5^6=15625$

(b) $(5^2)(5^{-3})$

So, it becomes,

$5^2\times 5^{-3}=5^{2-3}=5^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{5}=0.2$

(c) $(5^2)^2$

As we know that

$(a^m)^n=a^{mn}$

So, it becomes,

$5^{2\times 2}=5^4=625$

(d) $5^{-3}$

$a^{-m}=\dfrac{1}{a^m}\\\\5^{-3}=\dfrac{1}{5^3}=\dfrac{1}{125}=0.008$

Hence, a) 15625, b) 0.2, c) 625, d) 0.008.
