What is the value of the expression when a = -1.4 and b = -2.7? |a| + b

1 answer:

5 0

"a" is an absolute value, so that means that after whatever is in the brackets is solved as far as it can be, it becomes a positive value, no matter what it is. So, |-1.4| is equal to 1.4. The equation is 1.4+ (-2.7) or 1.4 - 2.7 which equals -1.3

If 5 + 20 times 2 Superscript 2 minus 3 x Baseline = 10 times 2 Superscript negative 2 x Baseline + 5, what is the value of x? –

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<h3>Option D) 3 is correct</h3><h3>Therefore the value of x is 3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $5+20\times (2)^{2-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}+5$

<h3>To find the value of x :</h3>

First solving the given equation we have,

$5+20\times (2)^{2-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}+5$

$5+20\times (2)^{2-3x}-5=10\times (2)^{-2x}+5-5$

$20\times (2)^{2-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$20\times (2)^2.(2)^{-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$20\times 4.(2)^{-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$80(2)^{-3x}=10\times (2)^{-2x}$

$\frac{80}{10}(2)^{-3x}=\frac{10\times (2)^{-2x}}{10}$

$8(2)^{-3x}=(2)^{-2x}$

$\frac{(2)^{-3x}}{(2)^{-2x}}=\frac{1}{8}$

$(2)^{-3x}.(2)^{2x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$ ( by using the property $\frac{1}{a^{-m}}=a^m$ )

$2^{-3x+2x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$ ( by using the property $a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}$ )

$2^{-x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$

$\frac{1}{2^x}=\frac{1}{2^3}$ ( by using the property $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$ )

Since bases are same so powers are same

Therefore we can equate the powers we get x=3

<h3>Therefore the value of x is 3</h3><h3>Option D) 3 is correct</h3>
