Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

5(x - 8) = 20

Step 2: Solve for x

Divide 5 on both sides: x - 8 = 4
Add 8 on both sides: x = 12

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: 5(12 - 8) = 20
Subtract: 5(4) = 20
Multiply: 20 = 20

Here we see that 20 does indeed equal 20.

∴ x = 12 is a solution to the equation.

Match the expressions with their equivalent simplified expressions.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^6y^4}{81x^2y^8}}\rightarrow\frac{2x}{3y}\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{81x^2y^{10}}{81x^6y^6}} \rightarrow\frac{3y}{2x}\\\sqrt[3]{\frac{64x^8y^7}{125x^2y^{10}}}\rightarrow\frac{4x^2}{5y}\\\sqrt[5]{\frac{243x^{17}y^{16}}{32x^7y^{21}}}\rightarrow\frac{3x^2}{2y}\\\sqrt[5]{\frac{32x^{12}y^{15}}{243x^7y^{10}}} \rightarrow\frac{2xy}{3}\\\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{10}y^{9}}{256x^2y^{17}}}\rightarrow\frac{x}{2y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^6y^4}{81x^2y^8}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{(2^4)(x^{6-2})(y^{4-8})}{(3^4)}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{2^4x^4y^{-4}}{3^4}} =\frac{2xy^{-1}}{3}=\frac{2x}{3y}$

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{81x^2y^{10}}{81x^6y^6}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{(3^4)(x^{2-6})(y^{10-6})}{(2^4)}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{3^4x^{-4}y^{4}}{2^4}} =\frac{3x^{-1}y^1}{3}=\frac{3y}{2x}$

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{64x^8y^7}{125x^2y^{10}}} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{(4^3)(x^{8-2})(y^{7-10})}{(5^3)}} =\sqrt[3]{\frac{4^3x^6y^{-3}}{5^3}} =\frac{4x^2y^{-1}}{5}=\frac{4x^2}{5y}$

$\sqrt[5]{\frac{243x^{17}y^{16}}{32x^7y^{21}}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{(3^5)(x^{17-7})(y^{16-21})}{(2^5)}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{3^5x^{10}y^{-5}}{2^5}} =\frac{3x^2y^{-1}}{2}=\frac{3x^2}{2y}$

$\sqrt[5]{\frac{32x^{12}y^{15}}{243x^7y^{10}}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{(2^5)(x^{12-7})(y^{15-10})}{(3^5)}} =\sqrt[5]{\frac{2^5x^{5}y^{5}}{3^5}} =\frac{2x^1y^{1}}{3}=\frac{2xy}{3}$

$\sqrt[4]{\frac{16x^{10}y^{9}}{256x^2y^{17}}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{(2^4)(x^{10-2})(y^{9-17})}{(4^4)}} =\sqrt[4]{\frac{2^4x^{8}y^{-8}}{4^4}} =\frac{2x^{1}y^{-1}}{4}=\frac{x}{2y}$

Thus,
