Answer:

C.)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -20x -5b -x +2=-17x -8

-17x-5b+2=- 17x-8

+17x +17x

-5b +2= -8

-2 -2

-5b = -10

b= 2

Which expression is equivalent to (16 x Superscript 8 Baseline y Superscript negative 12 Baseline) Superscript one-half?.

loris [4]

To solve the problem we must know the Basic Rules of Exponentiation.

<h2>Basic Rules of Exponentiation</h2>

$x^ax^b = x^{(a+b)}$
$\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{(a-b)}$
$(a^a)^b =x^{(a\times b)}$
$(xy)^a = x^ay^a$

$x^{\frac{3}{4}} = \sqrt[4]{x^3}= (\sqrt[3]{x})^4$

The solution of the expression is $\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$ .

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given to us

$(16x^8y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Solution

We know that 16 can be reduced to $2^4$ ,

$=(2^4x^8y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Using identity $(xy)^a = x^ay^a$ ,

$=(2^4)^{\frac{1}{2}}(x^8)^{\frac{1}{2}}(y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Using identity $(a^a)^b =x^{(a\times b)}$ ,

$=(2^{4\times \frac{1}{2}})\ (x^{8\times\frac{1}{2}})\ (y^{12\times{\frac{1}{2}}})$

Solving further

$=2^2x^4y^{-6}$

Using identity $\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{(a-b)}$ ,

$=\dfrac{2^2x^4}{y^6}$

$=\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$

Hence, the solution of the expression is $\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$ .

How do i solve the system of equations by graphing?<br>2x+y=7 <br>x-2y=6

scoray [572]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. y = -2x + 7

2. Graph it (Mark (0, 7) or 7 on the y axis and go over one, down two, mark it and draw a line through both)

3. -2y = -x + 6

4. divide entire equation by 2 to isolate y

5. -y = -x + 3

6. multiply entire equation by -1 to make it positive

7. y=x+3

8. graph it (Mark (0,3) and go over one, down one, mark it and draw a line through both new points)

9. Where the lines intersect is your answer

Alekssandra [29.7K]

It is given in the question that

Ms. Velez will use both x gray bricks and y red bricks to build a wall around her garden. Gray bricks cost $0.45 each and red bricks cost $0.58 each. She can spend up to $200 on her project, and wants the number of red bricks to be less than half the number of gray bricks.

Maximum she can spend is $200. That is

$0.45x + 0.58y \leq 200
\\ y< \frac{1}{2} x$

And

$x\geq 0 , y \geq 0$

And that's the required inequalities .
