Look at deonomators
assuming that the deonomenators are 5x+15y and 2x+6y
find their LCM
factor
5x+15y=5(x+3y)
2x+6y=2(x+3y)
LCM=10(x+3y)=10x+30y
multiply 2/(5x+15y) by 2/2=4/(10x+30y)
multiply 1/(2x+6y) by 5/5=5/(10x+30y)
if we add them
9/(10x+30y)
I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.
If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2
So we go from this
a^4 = 625
to this
(a^2)^2 = 25^2
Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25
From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5
As a check:
a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625
a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625
Both values of 'a' work out
6y + 4 I guess is the answer for the question
Q=1/36 or q=-1/6, for the question
