Let’s condense the original expression and see if that’s one of the answers

-1/2(-3/2 x + 6x + 1) - 3x

First we distribute the -1/2

((-1/2)(-3/2 x) + (-1/2)(6x) + (-1/2)(1)) -3x

3/4x - 3x - 1/2 -3x

Combine like terms

(3/4 x - 3x - 3x) -1/2

-21/4 x - 1/2

We could make this a mixed number

-5 1/4 x - 1/2

(Mixed number: 5 times 4 plus one gets the numerator)

So the answer is D

Answer:

a = 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be written as:

$x^{2} (x^{4})^{1/3} = x^{a}$

Anything to the power of 1/3 means to find the cube root. We can simplify this to:

$x^{2} (x^{4/3}) = x^{a}$

I just multiplied 4 and 1/3 (because of the second index law $(a^{m})^{n} = a^{mn}$ ). Now, we can add the powers because the bases are the same and we are multiplying (first index law):
