The order of the steps differ for the two expressions because for the first expression, you multiply 5a and 3b first. Then, you add them together. However, for the second expression, you add what's inside the parenthesis first then multiply them. So, the order of the steps is the opposite of the other expression.
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
4 ^(1/2x) = 256
Rewriting 256 as a power of 4
4 ^(1/2x) = 4^4
Since the bases are the same, the exponents are the same
1/2x = 4
Multiply each side by 2
1/2x *2 = 4*2
x=8
So for example 11/3 is 3 2/3 because you divide 11 by 3 and how you do it is that 3 goes into 11 3 times so you would write three on top of the 11 and then subtract 11-9 which is 2 so it is 3 2/3
I think you should combine like terms
