A car rental company charges $31 per day to rent a particular type of car, and $0.19 per mile. Juan is charged $59.31 for a one-

day rental. How many miles did he drive? (Show your algebraic work)

x = # of miles

$59.31 = $31 + $0.19x

Subtract $31 from both sides

$28.31 = $0.19x

Divide both sides by $0.19

149 = x

Juan drove 149 miles

Simplify using only POSITIVE exponents:

pickupchik [31]

So here are a few rules with exponents that you should know:

Multiplying exponents of the same base: $x^m*x^n=x^{m+n}$
Dividing exponents of the same base: $x^m\div x^n=x^{m-n}$
Powering a power to a power: $(x^m)^n=x^{m*n}$
Converting a negative exponent to a positive one: $x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}\ \textsf{and}\ \frac{1}{x^{-m}}=x^m$

<h2>1.</h2>

Firstly, solve the outside exponent:

$(2x^3y^7)^{-2}=2^{-2}x^{3*-2}y^{7*-2}=2^{-2}x^{-6}y^{-14}$

Next, convert the negative exponents into positive ones:

$2^{-2}x^{-6}y^{-14}=\frac{1}{2^2x^6y^{14}}=\frac{1}{4x^6y^{14}}$

<u>Your final answer is $\frac{1}{4x^6y^{14}}$ </u>

<h2>2.</h2>

For this, just divide:

$\frac{12x^5y^3}{4x^{-1}}=\frac{12}{4}x^{5-(-1)}y^{3-0}=3x^6y^3$

<u>Your final answer is $3x^6y^3$ </u>

<h2>3.</h2>

For this, convert all negative exponents into positive ones:

$\frac{r^{-7}b^{-8}}{t^{-4}w}=\frac{t^4}{r^7b^8w}$

<u>Your final answer is $\frac{t^4}{r^7b^8w}$ </u>

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf x= -29.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \sqrt{-2x+5}-3=5$

$\sf \sqrt{-2x+5}=8$

$\sf -2x+5=64$

$\sf -2x=59$

$\sf \cfrac{-2x}{-2}=\cfrac{59}{-2}$

Therefore, x = -29.5.
