Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 5x-5=3x+13---> 5x-3x=13+5---> 2x=13+5---- 2x=18----> x=9 hope it helps
The equation is y^2=16x and the directrix is x=-4
The answer is:
.
____________________________________________Explanation:____________________________________________We have: " 6⁻¹ * (-2)³ * (-4)⁻² = ? " ;
_______________________________________Note: "6⁻¹ =

=

" .
Note the following property of exponents:
____________________________________ a⁻ˣ =

; {x ≠ 0}.
____________________________________________Note: (-2)³ = (-2)*(-2)*(-2) = 4*(-2) = -8 .
_______________________________________Note: (-4)⁻² =

;
=

;
=

;
____________________________________So; we have:
_____________________________________6⁻¹ * (-2)³ * (-4)⁻² ;
=

;
→ Cancel out the "8" in the "numerator" (to a "1") ; and the "16" in the number (and change to a "2"); since: {"16÷8 = 2" ; and since: "{8÷8=1"} ;
→and we have:

;
=

.
_____________________________________ → The answer is:

By the difference of "5 and a number", I assume you mean that number minus 5. In that case, the expression is 8 times (x-5).
If by "the difference of 5 and a number" you mean 5 minus that number, then the expression is 8 times (5-x).
