The quotient rule for exponents states that if we divide exponents with the same base, then we can subtract the exponents and keep the base unchanged.
Answer:
x = -2
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 3y = 19
x = 3y - 11
-5x + 3y = 19
-5(3y - 11) + 3y = 19
-15y + 55 + 3y = 19
-15y + 3y + 55 = 19
-12y + 55 = 19
-12y = 19 - 55
-12y = -36
y = -36/-12
<u>y = 3</u>
x = 3y - 11
x = 3(3) - 11
x = 9 - 11
<u>x = -2</u>
1) Distribute
2x + 28x + 21
2) Combine like terms
30x + 21
Since there are no more like terms, 30x and 21 cannot be combined. Therefore, the answer is 30x+ 21
Let's find our own factors of 34xy. They include 2, 17, x and y.
