Answer:Simplifying
x = -2.125
Step-by-step explanation:Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + 8x = -7 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + 8x = -7 + -10
8x = -7 + -10
Combine like terms: -7 + -10 = -17
8x = -17
Divide each side by '8'.
x = -2.125
Simplifying
x = -2.125
There ya go! The answer is 8 rows. Added a picture to show you my work :)
5 to 10 is just one of many examples. Hope this helps :)
Answer: 1/243
Step-by-step explanation: To simplify the problem shown, our first step is to convert the decimal in the exponent, -2.5, to a fraction.
-2.5 is the same thing as -2 and 1/2 so we have 9^-2 and 1/2 and -2 and 1/2 is the same thing as -5/2 so we have 9^-5/2.
