The answer is A.) 5 because it’s the smaller number
Answer: x=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. distribute the 2 to (3x-12) >>>> 8x+6x-24=-122
2. add 8x and 6x to get 14x >>>> 14x-24=-122
3. add 24 to both sides>>>> 14x=-98
4. divide 14 by both sides>>>x=-7
For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

By definition of power properties we have to meet:

Then, we can rewrite the expression as:
