Answer:

Let the x = # of pies Larry ate

Jesse ate 2x-5 pies

Total = 16

Your equation is:

x + (2x-5)=16

3x-5=16

3x=21

x = 7

Larry ate 7 pies.

When you are doing distribution with this problem you are going to get your answer of....
D) 12x^2 - 13x - 14

Steps:
Simplify...
<span>(3x + 2)(4x - 7)
= (3x + 2) (4x + -7)
= (3x)(4x) + (3x)(-7) + (2)(4x) + (2)(-7)

= 12x^2 - 21x + 8x - 14
=12x^2 - 13x -14</span>

Which expressions are equivalent to 1 5 ⋅ 1 5 ⋅ 1 5 ⋅ 1 5 5 1 ⋅ 5 1 ⋅ 5 1 ⋅ 5 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 5, end fr

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The possible expressions are:

$\frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5}X \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}{5^4}$

$\frac{1}{625}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to determine the expression equivalent to:

$\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{1}{5}$

Since the options are not listed, I would give you possible answers.

$\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5}X \frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5}X \frac{1}{5}=(\frac{1}{5})^4=\frac{1^4}{5^4}=\frac{1}{5^4}$

$\frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5} X \frac{1}{5}X \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{625}$
