Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of exponents
with n > m
=
, thus
=
=
= 
So a hack is we know that 20% times 5 =100% and 40 divided by 2=20 so
50=40%
divide both sides by 2
25=20%
20 times 5=100 so
multiply both sides by 5
125=100%
Answer:
8/18=4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
since it there is 1/6 for red marbles and 5/18 for blue marbles it works because it is 8*9=72 for the denominator and 4*3=12 so it is 12/72=1/6 and for blue it is 5/18 because it is 5*4=20 and 20/72=10/36=5/18 so it is 1/6+5/18=8/18=4/9
x over 5 becuase the top and bottom are both divisible by 8 so you do that.
6x+1 / 2x +6 - 5/2
Factor 2 out of the denominator of the first fraction:
6x+1 / 2(x+3) - 5/2
Rewrite 5/2 to have a common denominator with the first fraction:
6x+1/2(x+3) - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Simplify terms:
6x +1 - 5(x+3) / 2(x+3)
Use distributive property:
6x +1 - 5x -15 / 2(x+3)
Combine like terms for final answer:
(x-14) / 2(x+3)
