Answer:

x = -8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x+3 = 2/3+1

Combine like terms

1/2x+3 = 2/3 + 3/3

1/2x + 3 = 5/3

Subtract 3 from each side

1/2x + 3-3 = 5/3 - 3

1/2x = 5/3 - 9/3

1/2x = -4/3

Multiply each side by 2

1/2x *2 = -4/3*2

x = -8/3

Answer:

$(x^4)^2=x^8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the power of a power property, which states that $(x^n)^m=x^{n\times{m}}$ , where m and n are real numbers, the expression you mentioned can be simplified by applying this property like this: $(x^4)^2=x^{4\times2}=x^8$
