Answer:

x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -2: 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
Combine like terms: 3x - 2 = 1/4
Add 2 to both sides: 3x = 9/4
Divide both sides by 3: x = 3/4

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4

15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4

15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4

1/4 = 1/4

Use the product property of roots to choose the expression equivalent to 3√5x*3√25x^2?

nignag [31]

Answer: $\sqrt[3]{125x^3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation: Given radical expression

$\sqrt[3]{5x} \times \sqrt[3]{25x^2}$ .

According to the product property of roots.

$\sqrt[n]{a} \times \sqrt[n]{b} = \sqrt[n]{a \times b}$

On applying above rule, we get

$\sqrt[3]{5x} \times \sqrt[3]{25x^2} = \sqrt[3]{5x \times 25x^2}$

5 × 25 = 125 and

$x \times x^2 = x^3$

Therefore,

$\sqrt[3]{5x \times 25x^2}= \sqrt[3]{125x^3}$

<h3>So, the correct option would be second option $\sqrt[3]{125x^3}$ .</h3>

(7y is supposed to be 7x)

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle E is (7x+27) because it is corresponding.

So, 7x+27+15x-5=180 (angle on a straight line is 180 degrees

22x+22=180

22x=158

x= 158/22 = 7.18'
