x = 30
The distributive property says that we need to multiply what's in the brackets by 1/2 (so 1/2*x and 1/2*6) to get the equation 1/2x + 3 = 18.
Then we need to subtract our constant, 3, from boths sides to get 1/2x = 15.
Multiply both sides by two to isolate x and you get x = 30.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer: 2.7 is the decimal for 2 7/10
Are you looking for c? if so c=5
The equivalent expression is 5^(4) * 3^(-10)
<h3>How to determine the equivalent expression?</h3>
The statement is given as:
five raised to the negative second power times three raised to the fifth power end quantity all raised to the negative second power
Rewrite properly as:
(5^-2 * 3^5)^-2
Expand the expression by multiplying the exponents
So, we have:
5^(-2 -2) * 3^(5 *-2)
Evaluate the products
5^(4) * 3^(-10)
Hence, the equivalent expression is 5^(4) * 3^(-10)
