The rule for the product of similar bases with exponents:
(a^b)(a^c)=a^(b+c)
(-5*6)(a^1)(a^8)
(-30)(a^(1+8))
-30a^9
I divide the numerator by the denominator
Answer:
x = 41 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
(2 1/2)x -(3/4)(2x +5) = 38
(2 1/2)x -(1 1/2)x -15/4 = 38 . . . . use the distributive property
x = 38 +3 3/4 . . . . . . add 15/4
x = 41 3/4
_____
Another way to solve this is to "clear fractions" by multiplying the whole equation by 4:
10x -3(2x +5) = 152
4x -15 = 152 . . . . eliminate parentheses
4x = 167 . . . . . . . add 15
x = 41 3/4 . . . . . . divide by 4
Answer:
5, 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1,-1 enlarged by 4
New coordinates = 4 + 1 = 5
-1 + 4 = 3
