Answer: 0.75 or 3/4

Answer: The number is 0.75 or 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the number.

Now set up an equation: The product of a number (x) and -4 = -4x. So -4x is subtracted from the number - x.     x-(-4x)

Then, that equals 3 more than the number (x) = x+3

So the equation is x-(-4x)=x+3.

Then, solve the equation!

x-(-4x)=x+3

x+4x=x+3  (Distribute the negative to the parentheses)

5x=x+3  (Combine like terms)

4x=3  (Get the Xs on one side by subtracting x from both sides)

x=0.75 or 3/4  (divide by the coefficiant, 4, on both sides)

<h2>Answer = </h2><h2>=  \frac{1}{y {}^{5} x {}^{2} }</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Greetings !

simplify for variable y first

apply exponent rule

a {}^{b} .a {}^{c}  = a {}^{b +c \\   } \\  y {}^{ - 8}y {}^{5}  = y {}^{ - 8 + 3}

Add/subtract the numbers -8+3=5

= y {}^{5}

Apply exponent rule

a {}^{ - b}  =  \frac{1}{a {}^{b} }

Thus,

y {}^{ - 5}  =  \frac{1}{y {}^{5} }

secondly, simplify for the variable x

Apply exponent rule as we made on y

x {}^{ - 2}

x  {}^{ - 2}  =  \frac{1}{x {}^{2} }

multiply bot the values we get

Hope it helps!
