Answer:
Yes they are.
Because:
As said in the rules you have to keep the bases and add the exponents.
Answer:
Directions - Identify the key components, create an exponential equation, then answer the questions.
Exponential Form: y=a\cdot b^{x},\ a\ is\ the\ \textit{starting}\ \textit{value},\ b\ is\ the\ base\ (rate).\y=a⋅b
x
, a is the starting value, b is the base (rate).
In a small town, the stray dog population is rapidly increasing. there are currently 15 stray dogs, and it is estimated that the population will triple every year. How many dogs will there be after 1 year? 2 years? 3 years?
1) a = 15
4) Dogs after 1 years = 45
2) b = 3
5) Dogs after 2 years = 135
3) Equation:
y= 15 ×3x
6) Dogs after 3 years =
405
Step-by-step explanation:
1 meter = 1000 mm
so then 5 meters is just 5 * 1000 = 5000 mm.
Answer:
B 
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to get the same denominator, we need to multiply the second fraction by (b+2) in the numerator and denominator.
We will end up in something like this :
I just timed the second fraction by b+ 2 and then i added them together.
Therefore, we will get 
now factoring the numerator we will end like this

we will then end up with the answer.
Hope this helps.
So, all you would do is use distribution.
For example: D is .5(x+3) = -3(x-.5)
you would do
.5 times x+3, which equals .5x+ 1.5
So, .5x+1.5=-3x+1.5
because -3*x-.5 is -3x+1.5.
Then, you would just get x by itself.
.5x+1.5=-3x+1.5
add 3 over to .5 = 3.5x;
subtract 1.5 over to 1.5 = 0
now you have 3.5x = 0
divide by 3.5 to get x by itself and you get zero.
x=0
When you substitute it in, you should have them both equal to each other. I hope this helps. :)
