- 3 (4 - 6x) < x + 5

- 12 + 18x < x + 5                 distributive property (to solve the left side)

-12 + 17x < 5                        subtraction property of equality (to transpose x
                                             from right to left side)

                                              subtraction of like terms (18x - x = 17x)

17x < 17                                addition property of equality (to tranpose - 12
                                              from left to right side)

                                              addition of like terms (12 + 5 =17)

x < 1                                  division property of equality

How many ways can you write 5^8 as a quotient of two exponential terms? Explain your reasoning.

melisa1 [442]

Exponents can be expressed in terms of quotient or fraction.
For example: x^6 can be expressed as x^8 / x^2 = x^8-2 = x^6.

From the question, 5^8 can be expressed as
5^10/5^2 = 5^8
(5^2)(5^8) / (5^2) = 5^8

Javier drove 45 miles. This represents 60% of his entire trip. What is the total number of miles in Javier's trip?

trapecia [35]

60% of trip = 45 miles

let total trip distance = <u /> $l$

60% is given by multiplying by 0.6

So;

$0.6l = 45 \\ \\ l = \frac{45}{0.6} \\ \\ \boxed{l = 75}$
