The expression can be written as:
(2x + 5) - 3
or:
5 + (2x - 3)

Answer:the number of coach tickets that she bought is 5
the number of first class tickets that she bought is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of coach tickets that she bought.
Let y represent the number of first class tickets that she bought.
The total number of people that went for the round trip is 11. This means that
x + y = 11
She was able to purchase coach tickets for $340 and first class tickets for $1190. She used her total budget for airfare for the trip, which was $8840. This means that
340x + 1190y = 8840 - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 11 - y into equation 1, it becomes
340(11-y) + 1190y = 8840
3740 - 340y + 1190y = 8840
- 340y + 1190y = 8840 - 3740
850y = 5100
y = 5100/850 = 6
x = 11 - y
x = 11 - 6 = 5
I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.
If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2
So we go from this
a^4 = 625
to this
(a^2)^2 = 25^2
Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25
From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5
As a check:
a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625
a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625
Both values of 'a' work out
Means the number you can use
remember we can't divide by zero
domain is x^2-9
set to zero to find values we can't use
x^2-9=0
x^2=9
x=+/-3
domain=all real numbers except -3 and 3
