Add like terms on the same side:
-10 + 8x = -56
Add ten to both sides
-10 + 8x + 10 = -56 +10
Simplify:
8x = -46
Divide both side by 8
8x/8 = -46/8
Simplify
x = - 5.75
The answer is x = -5.75
(The answer can also be written as -23/4 or -5 3/4)

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.−10+3x+5x=−56
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
8x−10=−56
Step 2: Add 10 to both sides.
8x−10+10=−56+108x=−46
Step 3: Divide both sides by
8.8x8=−468
x=−23/4

Expand and combine like terms (3z^5 +7z^2)^2

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$\displaystyle{(3z^5+7z^2)^2 = 9z^{10}+42z^7 + 49z^4 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a perfect square, we can simply use the formula:

$\displaystyle{(ax+by)^2 = a^2x^2+2abxy+b^2y^2}$

Given the perfect square expression $\displaystyle{(3z^5+7z^2)^2}$ . Apply perfect square formula:

$\displaystyle{(3z^5+7z^2)^2 = 3^2(z^5)^2+2(3)(7)(z^5)(z^2) + 7^2(z^2)^2 }$

Knowing laws of exponent is mandatory when it comes to algebra. Recall that:

$\displaystyle{(a^m)^n = a^{mn}}\\\\\displaystyle{a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}}$

Apply laws of exponent to simplify the terms or expression:

$\displaystyle{(3z^5+7z^2)^2 = 9z^{10}+42z^7 + 49z^4 }$

Since there are no like-terms to do operation with (these terms have different degrees so they are not considered to be like-terms.) Therefore, the final answer is:

$\displaystyle{(3z^5+7z^2)^2 = 9z^{10}+42z^7 + 49z^4 }$
