Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The expression to simplify is given as:

In order to simplify this, we have to use the law of indices.
1. 
So, 
Substitute this value in the above expression. This gives,

Now, we use another law of indices.
2. 
So, 
Substitute these values in the above expression. This gives,

Finally, we further simplify it using the law 
So, 
Therefore, the given expression is simplified as:

Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 19, 19
Set measurements equal to each other.
7X + 20 = 8X + 8
-7X -7X
20 = X + 8
-8 -8
ANSWER: X=12
Answer: 22 double chocolate cookies
Step-by-step explanation:
25 oatmeal raisin
38 sugar cookie
65 chocolate chip
22 double chocolate
(x + 12) = (x + 14) - 3
subtract 12 from each side
x = x + 14 - 3 - 12
Now if we subtract x from each side we see that x - x = 0. Combine the terms left over and we have -1, so
0 = -1
The answer is NO SOLUTION
