DE/2 = 30.5
CE=30.5
DC=30.5
3x + 5 = 30.5
3x = 30.5 - 5
3x = 25.5
25.5/3 =8.5
x=8.5
Answer:
486
Step-by-step explanation:
for the 2nd term, add 5 to -9
for the 3rd, add 5 × 2 to -9
for the 4th, add 5 × 3 to -9
:
for the 100th, add 5 × (100 - 1) to -9
=> 5 × 99 + (-9)
=> 486
The equivalent expression is 5^(4) * 3^(-10)
<h3>How to determine the equivalent expression?</h3>
The statement is given as:
five raised to the negative second power times three raised to the fifth power end quantity all raised to the negative second power
Rewrite properly as:
(5^-2 * 3^5)^-2
Expand the expression by multiplying the exponents
So, we have:
5^(-2 -2) * 3^(5 *-2)
Evaluate the products
5^(4) * 3^(-10)
Hence, the equivalent expression is 5^(4) * 3^(-10)
