28 = x + (2x - 5)
28 = 3x - 5
+5 +5
33 = 3x
/3 /3
11 = x

On number is 11, the other is 17.

Check:
11(2)=22-5=17

Let x be a positive integer. If (-3)ºx (-3)* = (-3)14,<br> what is x?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

$-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)=\left(-3\right)\cdot \:14 : x = \frac{840}{180^{\circ \:}}$

Decimal Form:

$x = -267.38030...$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)=\left(-3\right)\cdot \:14$

Remove Parentheses: $(-a) = -a$

$-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)=-3\cdot \:14$

Multiply the numbers: $3 * 14 = 42$

$-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)=-42$

Divide both sides by: $-3^{\circ \:}\left(-3\right)$

$\frac{-3^{\circ \:}x\left(-3\right)}{-3^{\circ \:}\left(-3\right)}=\frac{-42}{-3^{\circ \:}\left(-3\right)}$

Simplify:

$x=-\frac{840}{180^{\circ \:}}$

Hope I helped. If so, may I get brainliest and a thanks?

Thank you, have a good day! =)

Which expression is equivalent to StartRoot 128 x Superscript 8 Baseline y cubed z Superscript 9 Baseline EndRoot? Assume y grea

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\sqrt{128x^8y^3z^9}$

It can be written as

$\sqrt{(64\cdot 2)\cdot x^8\cdot y^{2+1}\cdot z^{8+1}}$

$=\sqrt{8^2\cdot 2\cdot (x^4)^2\cdot y^{2}\cdot y\cdot (z^{4})^2\cdot z}$

$=\sqrt{(8x^4yz^4)^2\cdot 2yz}$

$=8x^4yz^4\sqrt{2yz}$

Therefore, the correct option is C.
