The equation would be something like
20 - 2/3x = 12

so times it by 3 to get rid of the demoninator

60 - 2x = 36

rearrange

-2x = 36 - 60

solve

-2x = -24

so

x = 12

The number is 12, if you split it into 3 parts you get 4 so 2/3 of it would be 8. then you just take 20 ans subtract 8 to get 12.

Simplify (y x y^1/3)^3/2
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(y x y^1/3)^3/2 would be clearer if written as

(y*y^(1/3))^(3/2).

Because y^a*y^b = y^(a + b), the quantity inside the first set of parentheses becomes

y^(4/3)

and if we apply the power (3/2) to this result, we get:

                                 4       3

(y^(4/3))^(3/2) = y^{ ----- * ----- ) = y^2

                                 3       2
