Answer:

  factor out 5^19

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Reason from parity:

  both 5^20 and 5^19 are products with only odd numbers (5) as factors. Hence each is an odd number. The difference of odd numbers is always even.

__

b) Factor:

  5^20 -5^19 = 5^19(5 -1) = 5^19×4

This product has an even factor (4), so is even.

Step by step what is the answer to 11=12-q
Shtirlitz [24]

Your answer: q=1.

-

Steps:

1.) Add q to both sides. (11 + q = 12 - q + q.)

2.) Simplify. (11 + q = 12.)

3.) Subtract 11 from both sides. (11 + q - 11 = 12 - 11.)

4.) Simplify again. (q = 1.)

Hope this helped :)

Fifteen times a number subtracted from 80 is 25
Murrr4er [49]
Let the number be x.

15 times the number = 15x

This  is subtracted from 80,    80 - 15x

80 - 15x = 25

-15x = 25 - 80

-15x = -55

x = -55 / -15

x = 11/3

So the number is 11 / 3.
