What is the quotient in simplified form ? Need help please

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$-\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

$\dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}=a^b\\\\a^ba^c=a^{b+c}$

Your ratio simplifies to ...

$\dfrac{-8a^8b^{-2}}{10a^{-4}b^{-10}}=-\dfrac{4}{5}a^{8-(-4)}b^{-2-(-10)}\\\\=-\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}$

_____

Please note that simplifying the constants, -8/10 to -4/5, eliminates half the answer choices. Since exponents are only multiplied when a power is raised to a power, you can pretty much eliminate the second choice as being unreasonable. ((a^b)^c = a^(bc))

How can i solve this 4(3x-1)=3+8x-11

Tems11 [23]

4(3x−1)=3+8x−11

Simplify

4(3x−1)=3+8x−11

(4)(3x)+(4)(−1)=3+8x+−11(Distribute)

12x+−4=3+8x+−11

12x−4=(8x)+(3+−11)(Combine Like Terms)

12x−4=8x+−8

12x−4=8x−8

Subtract 8x from both sides.

12x−4−8x=8x−8−8x

4x−4=−8

Add 4 to both sides.

4x−4+4=−8+4

4x=−4

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=−4/4

x=−1
