Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4(2x+8)=10x+2−2x+30

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(2x+8)=10x+2−2x+30

(4)(2x)+(4)(8)=10x+2+−2x+30(Distribute)

8x+32=10x+2+−2x+30

8x+32=(10x+−2x)+(2+30)(Combine Like Terms)

8x+32=8x+32

Step 2: Subtract 8x from both sides.

8x+32−8x=8x+32−8x

32=32

Step 3: Subtract 32 from both sides.

32−32=32−32

I disagree. The first one is false. No exponent rules apply if the bases AND the exponents are different.

The second one is true. Bases are the sane so you add exponents. You get 3 to the -5 power. Written with positive exponents it’s 1/3 to the 5.

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

2 13/14 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining length is the difference between the starting length and the amount cut off:

5 3/7 - 2 1/2 = (5 -2) +(3/7 -1/2) = 3 +((3·2-7·1)/(7·2)) = 3 -1/14

= 2 13/14 . . . feet remaining

<em>Additional comment</em>

Addition and subtraction of fractions can be accomplished using a formula that does not rely on finding a least common denominator. In this case, the denominators have no common factors, so their product is, in fact, the least common denominator.

$\dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{ad-bc}{bd}$
