No, they are not equivalent. The first term, -4 1/2 equals 4 whole units and one half unit. All negative. So it’s like you have someone 4 and 1/2 dollars.
The second term, (-4)1/2 means multiplying -4 times 1/2. Doing the multiplication for this gives you -4/2. Solving the division here is -2. It’s taking away 1/2 dollar 4 times.
I hope this helped. Happy to answer any questions you have.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We would like to find the value of x such that:
2x + 1 = (8x + 5) + 20
Here, notice that the "+ 20" part mathematically represents the "twenty greater" phrase in the problem.
Now, we simply solve for x:
2x + 1 = 8x + 5 + 20
2x + 1 = 8x + 25
6x = 24
x = 4
The answer is thus 4.
