Cause 4 times 1 and 2 times 2
A. g=4
b. first you're going to subtract 1.4g from both sides;
5.4g + 4 - 1.4g = 1.4g + 20 - 1.4g
then simplify it;
4g+4=20
then, you'll subtract 4 from both sides;
4g + 4 - 4 = 20 - 4
then simplify again;
4g=16
lastly, you will divide 4 from both sides;
4g/4 = 16/4
since 16/4=4, then g=4
Hi again :)
5(y + 1) = 30
Once again, use the distributive property
(5)(y) + (5)(1) = 30
5y + 5 = 30
Add -5 to both sides
5y + 5 - 5 = 30 - 5
5y = 25
Divide both sides by 5
5y/5 = 25/5
y = 5
Best of luck!
The rule for multiplying similar bases with exponents:
(a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)
In this case we have:
(5^-2)(5^-1)
5^(-2-1)
5^(-3)
The rule for negative exponents:
a^(-b)=1/(a^b)
So in this case:
5^(-3) is equal to
1/(5^3)
1/125
