4a + 7b = 38 -> (1)
9a + 7b = 68 -> (2)

Subtract (1) from (2),
9a - 4a + 7b - 7b = 68 - 38
5a = 30
a = 6

Which expression is equivalent to 36^-1/2
inn [45]
ANSWER


( {36})^{ (-  \frac{1}{2}) }  =  \frac{1}{6}


EXPLANATION



The given expression is


{36}^{( -  \frac{1}{2} )}
This is having a negative index. We must first of all change to a positive index.


Recall that,



{a}^{ - m}  =  \frac{1}{ {a}^{m} }

We apply this law of exponents to get,



{36}^{( -  \frac{1}{2} )}  =  \frac{1}{ {36}^{(  \frac{1}{2} )} }

We cab rewrite the given expression to obtain;



{36}^{( -  \frac{1}{2} )}  =  \frac{1}{  \sqrt{36}  }

This will simplify to give us,


{36}^{( -  \frac{1}{2} )}  =  \frac{1}{  6 }

Solving, we get 40 = 2x, x =20

The jobs has to be 20 hours long in order for their two painting jobs to be equally priced.

Hope this helped!
