Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the ratio and proportion:

10 = 14

x + 8 2x - 5

just X multiply:

14 ( x + 8 ) = 10 ( 2x - 5 )

-6x = -162

x = -162 / -6

x = 27

10/14 = x+8/ 2x-5, so 10*2x-5= 14*x+8(cross multiplication)
So 20x-50= 14x+112(simplification), so subtract 14x: 6x-50=112, then add 50 to both sides: 6x=162, divide by 6: x=27

Answer:

2³ = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the laws of exponents, when raising a power to another power, you need to multiply the exponents. After you multiply each set of exponents by the additional power, then it become a multiplication problem where the base is the same. When multiplying exponents with the same base, you keep the base and add the exponents:

$(2^{3})^{7}*(2^{-9})^{2}=2^{21}*2^{-18}=2^{21+-18}=2^{3}$
