5.5x + 3 = y
7x =y

5.5x + 3 = 7x (-5.5x both sides)

3 = 1.5x (÷1.5 both sides)

X = 2

Michael takes two hours

lana66690 [7]

Step-by-step explanation: To simplify, we will apply the <em>Quotient Rule</em>.

The 5's in this problem are bases so as you apply the quotient rule,

subtract the exponents but leave the base alone to get 5⁴.

We can also write 5⁴ as 5 · 5 · 5 · 5.
