Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 25 = 5² , then

$5^{(6-2x)}$ = 5²

Since the bases on both sides are 5 then equate the exponents

6 - 2x = 2 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 2x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = 2

A rectangle has a height 3z and a width of 2x-3<br><br> Express the area of the entire rectangle.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

3z(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle, a = height * width

height, h = 3z

width, w = 2x - 3

a = 3z * (2x -3)

expand

a = 6xz - 9z

a = 3z(2x - 3)

You bought a bag of tamales and one of your friends ate 1/5 of the entire bag and another friend ate 1/3 of the whole bag. How m

Serggg [28]

Answer:

There is 7/15 left in the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

So, you need to find a common denominator between 3 and 5 which is 15

multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 in 1/5. Then, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 5 in 1/3.

1/3*5=5/15

1/5*3=3/15

Add them together.

5/15+3/15=8/15

Lastly, subtract 15/15 by 8/15

15/15-8/15=7/15
