Answer:

Man has total $8000 money

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total money he had be x

Now, as he spent $\frac{15}{16}$ of his money in buying a car

and, it is also given that price of car is $7500

So, we can write it as,

$\frac{15}{16} \times x = 7500$

⇒ $x= \frac{7500 \times16}{15}$

⇒ $x=\frac{120000}{15}\\$

⇒ x = 8000

Hence, before buying car he has $8000.

Solve for the equation below 4x^n + x^4n = ?

slavikrds [6]

4x + 6 = -10Simplifying 4x + 6 = -10 Reorder the terms: 6 + 4x = -10 Solving 6 + 4x = -10 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6' to each side of the equation. 6 + -6 + 4x = -10 + -6 Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0 0 + 4x = -10 + -6 4x = -10 + -6 Combine like terms: -10 + -6 = -16 4x = -16 Divide each side by '4'. x = -4 Simplifying x = -4
