Answer:

y =0

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation;

8³ × 8⁻⁵×8^y = 8⁻²= 1/8²

From the laws of indices;

aⁿ×aⁿ = a^2n

Therefore;

8³ × 8⁻⁵×8^y = 8^(3+-5+y)

8^(-2+y) = 8^-2 ; but the bases are the same and thus the exponents are the same;

-2 + y = -2

      y = 0

Answer:

The value of y is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

8³ * 8^-5*8^y = 8^-2 or 1/8²

Taking indices of both sides

From first law of indices;

Multiplication sign change to addition; i.e. x^a * x^b = x^(a + b).

So,

8³ * 8^-5*8^y = 8^-2

Becomes

8^(3 + (-5) + y) = 8^-2

Same base of 8 can cancel one another. So, we're left with

3 + (-5) + y = -2

Open the bracket

3 - 5 + y = -2

-2 + y = -2

Make y the subject of formula

y = 2 - 2

y = 0

Hence, the value of y in the equation is 0

Solve the system of equations below by elimination. Write your answer as an ordered pair. e.g. (2,3)
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

(45,35)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - Stack the equations on top of each other

3x - 4y = -5

4x + 4y = 40

2 - We can eliminate by subtracting the bottom equation from the top equation

 3x - 4y = -5

- 4x - 4y = 40

3 - The y's cancel out, leaving us with...

 3x = -5

- 4x = 40

4 - Continue simplifying

-1x = -45

5 - We can switch the -1x with -x to make things simple

-x = -45

6 - Positize (make it positive) the statement

x = 45

7 - Halfway there! Substitute the x value into one of the equations

(3 * 45) - 4y = -5

8 - Solve

135 - 4y = -5

Minus 135 on both sides

-4y = -140

Divide by -4 on both sides

y = 35

9 - Here is your answer!!

x = 45

y = 35

(45,35)

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 2:3:4. If the measure of the shortest side of the triangle is 12 centimeters, what i
Scorpion4ik [409]
To answer this, we let x some factor that would agree or make the ratio given true. We calculate as follows:

<span>2:3:4
2x:3x:4x

2x = 12
x = 6 

Therefore, the length of the longest side would be 4x = 4(6) = 24 cm, third option.</span>
