Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

First add 6 to Benjamin's age to make it 18, which is twice Lucas's age. Because it's twice as much, divide 18 by 2 to get 9.

Drag values to complete each equation.

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

1. A. 1

2. D. $17^9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties used:

Power of a Power Property
Product Property
Quotient Property
Zero Exponent Property

1. First, let's deal with the numerator.

$(17^3)^6$ can be turned into $17^1^8$ by using the Power of a Power Property.

And then use the Product Property, $(17^1^8)(17^-^1^0) = 17^8$

So now, our fraction is this: $\frac{17^8}{17^8}$

All number over itself in a fraction is equal to 1. But you can also do this the mathmatic way using the Quotient Property: $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^m^-^n$ or $\frac{1}{a^(^n^-^m^)}$ . Which then you plug the numbers in: $\frac{17^8}{17^8} = 17^8^-^8 = 17^0$ . And since we know that in Zero Exponent Property: $a^0 = 1$ , we can see that $17^0 = 1$ . So either way, we get 1.

So the answer is 1, which is A

2. Power of a Power Property: $(a^m)^n = a^m^n$

So plug the numbers in the property: $(17^{6}) ^3$ = $17^1^8$

Product Property: $(a^m)(a^n) = a^m^+^n$

We plug the equation in with $(17^{6}) ^3$ turned into $17^1^8$ ---

$(17^1^8)(17^-^9) = 17^1^8^-^9 = 17^9$

So the answer is $17^9$ , which is D

Please answer quickly<br>expand and simplify: 4(5x-3y) (x-4y) -(3x-4y)(2x+3y)

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: 14x^2-93xy+60y^2 Hope that helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand by distributing terms

(20x-12y)(x-4y)-(3x-4y)(2x+3y)

2. Use the Foil method:(a+b)(c+d)= ac+ad+bc+bd

20x^2-80xy-12yx+48y^2-(3x-4y)(2x+3y)

3. Use the Foil method : (a+b)(c+d)= ac+ad+bc+bd

20x^2-80xy-12yx+48y^2-(6x^2+9xy-8yx-12y^2)

4. Remove parentheses 20x^2-80xy-12yx+48y^2-6x^2-9xy+ 8yx+12y^2

5. Collect like terms (20x^2-6x^2)+(-80xy-12xy-9xy+8xy)+(48y^2+12y^2)

6. Simplify.

And your answer would be 14x^2-93xy+60y^2
