Answer:

x=2.52

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must isolate x on one side of the equation. To start, we take away 17.56 on the right side of the equation. What ever we do to one side we must to the other side. Subtract 17.56 from BOTH sides of the equation. now we are left with 12.60=5x. We still have to get x completely by itself. To do this, we divide 5 on both sides of the equation. The reason why we divide is because we have 5 times x, or just 5x. The opposite of multiplying is dividing; if we divide, the x will isolate and the 5 will cancel out. We are now left with 2.52=x. To prove that the answer is x=2.52, let's substitute x for 2.52 in the original equation: 30.16=17.56+5(2.52). The final answer we get is 30.16=30.16. This proves that x=2.52 is correct for this equation.

Hope this helps :)

First subtract 17.56 to each side
12.6 = 5x
Divide by 5 to each side
2.52 = x

What is the diameter in the circle above 7 3.5 14 3.14

ira [324]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is the length from one point on the circle to another, passing through the center. The radius is the length from a point on the circle to its center, so we can always find the diameter by doubling the radius. In this case, with a radius of 7, our diameter is 7 · 2 = 14

Explain how the Quotient of Powers Property was used to simplify this expression.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

$\frac{5^{4}}{25} = 25$

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if you had a typographical error with this statement, "5 to the fourth power, over 25 = 52."

According to the Quotient Rule of Exponents:

$\frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}} = a^{(m-n)}$

Method 1:

In order for you apply the Quotient Rule, the base must be the same. Since 5 is a factor of 25, then you could rewrite 25 as 5². Doing so will give you the following exponential expression:

$\frac{5^{4}}{5^{2}} = 5^{(4 - 2)} = 5^{2} = 25$

Method 2:

Even if you solve the given problem manually, you'd still get the same answer:

$\frac{5^{4}}{25} = \frac{5*5*5*5}{25} = \frac{625}{25} = 25$

Both methods produced the same result, proving that the correct answer is 25.
