1. Distribute
5(2n-4)
10n-20

9(n+2)
9n+18

10n-20=9n+18

2. Combine like terms
combine the terms with “n”, and then combine the other numbers.

Hope this helps!

How do you simplify that question? For algebra 1.

motikmotik

$\left( \sqrt{x^{-3}} \right)^5 = \left( \sqrt{ \frac{1}{x^3} } \right)^5= \frac{1}{ (\sqrt{x^3})^5 } = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{x^{15}} } = \frac{1}{x^7 \sqrt{x} }$

Explanation for the last step:
$\sqrt{x^{15}}= \sqrt{x^{14}*x}= \sqrt{x^{14}}* \sqrt{x} =x^{ \frac{14}{2} }* \sqrt{x} =x^7 \sqrt{x}$

I really need help on these two. Its fine if you dont get both of them. i will give you 25 points

Answer:

He read 1/3 of the book on the second day

He didn't finish the book in two days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find 3/5 of 5/9

If we said, find 3/5 of x, the answer would be 3/5x.

3/5*x = 3/5x

In the same way, $\frac{3}{5} *\frac{5}{9} = \frac{15}{45} = \frac{1}{3}$

He read 1/3 of the book on the second day

Does 5/9 + 1/3 equal to 1?

1/3 = 3/9

5/9 + 3/9 = 8/9

He didn't finish the book in two days.

Hope this helps :)

Have a nice day!
