Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4n² + 4(4m³ + 4n² ) ← distribute terms in parenthesis by 4
= 4n² + 16m³ + 16n² ← collect like terms
= (4n² + 16n²) + 16m³
= 20n² + 16m³
= 16m³ + 20n² ← in standard form → A
x = # of balcony seats
y = # of orchestra seats
We have to create a system of equations to solve this problem
x + y = 256
$8x + $12y = $2,716
We will solve this system of equations by elimination.
Multiply the first equation by -8
-8x - 8y = -2048
8x + 12y = 2716
Let's add the equations together
0 + 4y = 668
Simplify the left side
4y = 668
Divide both sides by 4
y = 167
We can subtract 167 from 257 to get the number of balcony seats.
257 - 167 = 90 balcony seats
There are 167 orchestra seats and 90 balcony seats
we are given

Firstly, we will simplify left side
and then we can solve for k
Left side is

we can arrange like terms



now, we can use property of exponent



now, we can equate it with right side
and we get

We can see that both sides have 30 , a and b
and they are equal
so, exponent of a must also be equal

now, we can solve for k
