we are given

Firstly, we will simplify left side
and then we can solve for k
Left side is

we can arrange like terms



now, we can use property of exponent



now, we can equate it with right side
and we get

We can see that both sides have 30 , a and b
and they are equal
so, exponent of a must also be equal

now, we can solve for k

................Answer
17 by 2 because 34 divided by 2 is 17
Answer:
£83.70
Step-by-step explanation:
→ First step is to find the amount of hours it takes for one builder
We know it takes 5 builders
hours so 1 builder would take 5 ×
which is
hours so it takes one builder 17.5 hours to builder a wall
→ Now we know how long one work takes we need to find out the time for 2 builders
1 builder = 17.5 hours
2 builders = 17.5 ÷ 2 = 8.75 hours
So 2 builders take 8.75 hours
→ We know that each builder is paid £9.30 for each or part hour they work so
9.30 hourly pay rate × 9 hours work of work = £83.70
Each worker will be paid £83.70
