You need to expand the brackets eg.
(w-9)8 basically means 8 x (w-9) = 8w-72
        
             
        
        
        
x = 30
The distributive property says that we need to multiply what's in the brackets by 1/2 (so 1/2*x and 1/2*6) to get the equation 1/2x + 3 = 18.
Then we need to subtract our constant, 3, from boths sides to get 1/2x = 15.
Multiply both sides by two to isolate x and you get x = 30.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
((p^4*q)/p^8)^2.
p^4/p^8=p^(4-8)=p^-4=1/p^4
(q/p^4)^2=(q^2/p^8) 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
1. C
2. D
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 
Pattern A is adding by 2's (1 -> 3, 4 -> 6, 7 -> 9 and so on).
Pattern B is multiplying by 2's (2 -> 4, 3 -> 6, 4 -> 8 and so on). 
2. 
If 0.25 gallons of paint = 24 ft^2, then 1 gallon will equal? 
Set up an equation:
Variable x = area of ft^2 for 1 gallon of paint
0.25/24 = 1/x
Cross multiply
0.25 × x = 24 × 1
0.25x = 24
To make calculations easier, you can convert the decimal into a fraction: 0.25 = 1/4
1/4x = 24
Multiply both sides by 4
1x = 96
x = 96 ft^2
Check your work: 
0.25/24 = 1/96
0.25 × 96 = 24 × 1
24 = 24
Correct
