Answer:

x = $\frac{43}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3}{4}$ x - 5 = $\frac{3}{8}$

Multiply through by 8 ( the LCM of 4 and 8 ) to clear the fractions

6x - 40 = 3 ( add 40 to both sides )

6x = 43 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = $\frac{43}{6}$

Write (8a-^3) -2/3 in simplest form

Anna71 [15]

$(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = \frac{a^2}{4}$

Solution:

Given that,

$(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}$

We have to write in simplest form

Use the following law of exponent

$(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$

Using this, simplify the given expression

$(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^{ -3 \times \frac{-2}{3}}\\\\Simplifying\ we\ get\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = 8^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^2\\\\We\ know\ that\ 8 = 2^3\\\\Therefore\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} =2^3^{\frac{-2}{3}} \times a^2\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} =2^{-2} \times a^2\\\\(8a^{-3})^{\frac{-2}{3}} = \frac{a^2}{4}$

Thus the given expression is simplified
