Answer:

c)

subtract 5 times the second equation from 2 times the first equation

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 5 times the second equation from 2 times the first equation

This will make the coefficient of the y variable 10

for both equations

10y - 10y = 0

leaving only x

Alrighty

remember some rules
$(ab)^c=(a^c)(b^c)$
and
$x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m}$
and
$x^0=1$ for all real values of x
and
$(a^b)^c=a^{bc}$
and
$(\frac{a}{b})^c=\frac{a^c}{b^c}$
and
(a/b)/(c/d)=(ad)/(bc)
and
$(a^b)(a^c)=a^{b+c}$
and
$\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$
and don't forget pemdas
example: $-x^m=-1(x^m)$ but $(-x)^m=(-1)^m(x^m)$

so

4.
$(\frac{c^{-2}}{2})^{-2}=$

$\frac{(c^{-2})^{-2}}{2^{-2}}=$

$\frac{c^4}{\frac{1}{2^2}}=$

$\frac{c^4}{\frac{1}{4}}=$

$4c^4$

5.

$\frac{(-a)^4bc^5}{-a^2b^{-3}c^0}=$

$\frac{(-1)^4(a)^4bc^5}{-1(a^2)(\frac{1}{b^3}(1)}=$

$\frac{(1)a^4bc^5}{\frac{(-1)(a^2)}{b^3}}=$

$\frac{(a^4bc^5)b^3}{(-1)(a^2)}=$

$\frac{-a^4b^4c^5}{a^2}=$

$-a^2b^4c^5$

M+5n=p for m <br> Solving for a variable

Verdich [7]

Answer:

M=p-5n

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that M+5n=p

We are asked to solve this equation for M. In order to do that we will follow these steps.

Subtracting 5n from both sides we get

M+5n-5n=p-5n

M=p-5n

Hence , now we have our M as dependent variable, whose value depends on the values of p and n. One or both of them can be independent variable/.

Melanie draws with great fervor, using up pencils at an incredible rate: 14 pencils every

AfilCa [17]

4 pencils . 4/9 of an hour = 4/9 of 60 minutes = 4/9 * 60 = 80/3 minutes
x pencils = ? . one hour = 60 minutes

14 * 60 = 80/3 * x /*3
14 * 60 * 3 = 80 * x
80 * x = 2520 /80
x = 2520 / 80
x = 31.5 pencils

The result would be 32 pencils in one hour.
