Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If we're using the distributive property, we should  first open parentheses by multiplying -5*a and -5*3

-5*a= -5a

-5*3= -15

Now, we have the equation: -5a-15= -55

Add fifteen to both side:

-5a= -40

a=8

Answer:

a = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(a + 3) = - 55

- 5a - 15 = - 55

55 - 15 = 5a

5a = 40

a = 40 : 5

a = 8

F(x) = 16ˣ

A. g(x) = 8(2ˣ)
    g(x) = (2³)(2ˣ)
    g(x) = 2ˣ⁺³
The answer is not A.

B. g(x) = 4096(16ˣ⁻³)
    g(x) = (16³)(16ˣ⁻³)
    g(x) = 16ˣ
The answer is B.

C. g(x) = 4(4ˣ)
     g(x) = 4ˣ⁺¹
The answer is not C.

D. g(x) = 0.0625(16ˣ⁺¹)
     g(x) = (16⁻¹)(16ˣ⁺¹)
     g(x) = 16ˣ
The answer is D.

E. g(x) = 32(16ˣ⁻²)
    g(x) = (2⁵)(2⁴ˣ⁻⁸)
    g(x) = 2(⁴ˣ⁻³)
The answer is not E.

F. g(x) = 2(8ˣ)
    g(x) = 2(2³ˣ)
    g(x) = 2³ˣ⁺¹
The answer is not F.

The answer is B and D.

Find the value of d 2d - 5 = 17
tester [92]
<span>Simplifying 2d + -5 = 17 Reorder the terms: -5 + 2d = 17 Solving -5 + 2d = 17 Solving for variable 'd'. Move all terms containing d to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '5' to each side of the equation. -5 + 5 + 2d = 17 + 5 Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0 0 + 2d = 17 + 5 2d = 17 + 5 Combine like terms: 17 + 5 = 22 2d = 22 Divide each side by '2'. d = 11 Simplifying d = 11 </span>
