Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-0.2(x-20)=44-x

Divide both sides by -0.2:

x-20=-220+5x

Subtract x from both sides:

-20=-220+4x

Add 220 to both sides:

200=4x

x=50, or answer choice C. Hope this helps!

x = 50

Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable. x=50 this is helpful

Simplify square root of 2 over cube root of 2.

Fed [463]

Answer:

2 to the power of one sixth

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you don't already know this, any type of root can be expressed as an exponent. Generally speaking:

$\sqrt[n]{x} = {x}^{ \frac{1}{n} }$

So you can rewrite the given fraction as

$\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } }$

and then reduce as you normally would. That is, if the bases of the numerator and denominator are the same, then you can subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent like so:

$\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } } = {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} }$

Since

$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{6}$

the answer is

${2}^{ \frac{1}{6} } \: or \: \sqrt[6]{2}$

Solve for x in the equation 2x^2+14x+17=-96

goblinko [34]

$2x^{2}+14x+17=-96 \newline
2x^{2}+14x+113=0 \newline
\Delta = b^{2}-4ac = 14^{2} - 4 \cdot 2 \cdot 113 = -708.$

Since $\Delta$ is negative $\Rightarrow x \notin \mathbb{R}.$
