Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:

Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.

Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.

Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.

11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high.  11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!

It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.

Answer:

Peter will have $910 - $40 * x on his account, where x is the number of the weeks. Marla will have $470 - $20 * x.

910 - 40 x = 470 - 20 x

910 - 470 = 40 x - 20 x

440 = 20 x

x = 440 : 20

x = 22

910 - 40 * 22 = 910 - 880 = $30

470 - 20 * 22 = 470 - 440 = $30

Answer: Their accounts will be equal in 22 weeks ( both of them will have $30 ).

What is the radical form of the expression (2x^4y^5)^3/8
s344n2d4d5 [400]

We are given expression: (2x^4y^5)^{3/8}

Let us distribute 3/8 over exponents in parenthesis, we get

(2^{3/8}x^{4\times 3/8}y^{5\times 3/8}) = (2^{3/8}x^{12/8}y^{15/8})

= (2^{3/8}x^{1\frac{4}{8}} y^{1\frac{7}{8}} )

We can get x and y out of the radical because, we get whlole number 1 for x and y exponents for the mixed fractions.

So, we could write it as.

(2^{3/8}x^{1\frac{4}{8}} y^{1\frac{7}{8}} ) = xy(2^{\frac{3}{8} }x^{\frac{4}{8}} y^{\frac{7}{8}} )

Now, we could write inside expression of parenthesis in radical form.

xy\sqrt[8]{2x^{3}x^4y^7}

It is 397.8 bc if u make 530.4 a fraction = 530.4/1 then u just multiply it by 3/4 u will get 1591.2/4 then u simply reduce it by dividing ( top in , bottom out ) and u get 397.8
