Answer:
The simplyfied version would be 19/4
Show of work:
(1/4)^-2 = 4^2
3 × 8^2/3 × 1 = 12
(9/16)^1/2 = 3/4
4^2 - 12 + 3/4
Convert elements to fractions:
-12 × 4 + 3
---------- ----
4 4
Since the denominators are equal combine the fractions:
-12 × 4 + 3
---------------
4
-12 × 4 + 3 = -45
= -45/4
=4^2 - 45/4
4^2 = 16
16 - 45/4
16 × 4 - 45. 16 × 4 - 45
--------- ----- ----------------
4 4. 4
-> 16 × 4 - 45 = 19
= 19/4
2+4a=-10
First, subtract 2 from both sides.
4a=-12
Then divide 4 from both sides.
a=-3
hope it helps!
