Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

40−x=3x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

40−x=3x

40+−x=3x

−x+40=3x

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

−x+40−3x=3x−3x

−4x+40=0

Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.

−4x+40−40=0−40

−4x=−40

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x

−4

=

−40

−4

x=10

Answer:
1/625

Explanation:
In case of multiplication of numbers with same base, we add the powers.
This means that:
a^x * a^y = a^(x+y)

Applying this to the given, we will find that:
(5^-1) * (5^-3) = 5^(-1-3)
                      = 5^-4
                     = 1/625

Hope this helps :)
