Answer:
B) -125a^11
Step-by-step explanation:
(-5a^2)^3·a^5 = (-5)^3·a^6·a^5
= (-5)^3·a^(2·3)·a^5
= (-5)^3·a^6·a^5
= -125·a^(6+5)
= -125·a^11 . . . . matches choice B
_____
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
ITS C I HAVE NO EXPLANATION BUT ITS C
4x - 26 = 2x - 4....subtract 2x from both sides
4x - 2x - 26 = -4...add 26 to both sides
4x - 2x = -4 + 26...combine terms
2x = 22...divide both sides by 2
x = 22/2 = 11
OR
4x - 26 = 2x - 4.....subtract 4x from both sides
-26 = 2x - 4x - 4....add 4 to both sides
-26 + 4 = 2x - 4x...combine terms
-22 = -2x....divide both sides by -2
-22/-2 = x
11 = x
