It is nonequivalent. Figure it out this way. Think about what number has to be multiplied by both the numerator and the denominator of \frac{5x}{25x^4} to get to \frac{x^3}{5x^15}. It has to be the samee number for the one expression to be equivalent to the other. To get from 5x to x^3, we have to multiply by 1/5x^2. When we do that we get x^3. Good. Now we have to multiply the denominator by the same thing, 1/5x^2. 25x^4(\frac{1}{5}x^2)=5x^6. As you can see, they are not equivalent.

For this case we have the following expressions:

\frac{5x}{25x^4}

\frac{x^3}{5x^{15}}

We can rewrite both expressions using properties of powers.

For power properties we have:

"In a division, if we have the same base, we subtract the exponents"

Rewriting both expressions we have:

\frac{5x}{25x^4} = \frac{1}{5}x^{1-4} = \frac{1}{5}x^{-3} =  \frac{1}{5x^3}

\frac{x^3}{5x^{15}} = \frac{1}{5}x^{3-15} =\frac{1}{5}x^{-12} = \frac{1}{5x^{12}}

Answer:

True.

Rational expressions are not equivalent.

Can someone please help me I posted this multiple times but no one answers pls help me quick​

You would have to make 465=1550-7 1/2 x and find x
Subtract 1550 from both sides
-1085=-7 1/2x
Divide -7 1/2 on both sides
And the answer is 144 2/3
Sorry about ur bad luck
