Answer:

10 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the age of the younger sister is x. Then the age of the older sister must be x + 2 because the ages are consecutive <em>even</em> numbers.

"Twice the age of the youngest exceeds the oldest by 8" means that we multiply x by 2 and set that equal to (x + 2) + 8:

2x = (x + 2) + 8

2x = x + 10

x = 10

So, the youngest sister is 10 years old.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

9 feet 1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to get the answer we want to add the heights of the boxes.

2 feet, 4 inches + 2 feet 11 inches = 4 feet 15 inches. 4 feet 15 inches + 3 feet 10 inches = 7 feet and 25 inches. 25 inches is equal to 2 feet and 1 inch, so we end up with 9 feet and 1 inch as our answer.

Help with Algebra 2: 1. <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D%20%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given the expression

\dfrac{\sqrt[7]{x^5} }{\sqrt[4]{x^2} }

Note that

\sqrt[7]{x^5}=x^{\frac{5}{7}} \\ \\\sqrt[4]{x^2}=x^{\frac{2}{4}}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}

When dividing \sqrt[7]{x^5} by \sqrt[4]{x^2}, we have to subtract powers (we cannot subtract 4 from 7, because then we get another expression), so

\dfrac{5}{7}-\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{5}{7}-\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5\cdot 2-1\cdot 7}{14}=\dfrac{3}{14}

and the result is x^{\frac{3}{14}}=\sqrt[14]{x^3}

2. Given equation 3\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3} -4=20

Add 4:

3\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3} -4+4=20+4\\ \\3\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3}=24

Divide by 3:

\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3} =8

Rewrite the equation as:

(x-2)^{\frac{3}{4}}=8\\ \\(x-2)^{\frac{3}{4}}=2^3

Hence,

\left((x-2)^{\frac{3}{4}}\right)^{\frac{4}{3}}=(2^3)^{\frac{4}{3}}\\ \\x-2=2^{3\cdot \frac{4}{3}}\\ \\x-2=2^4\\ \\x-2=16\\ \\x-2+2=16+2\\ \\x=18

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

x=c/a-b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

ax+b=c

1) Subtract b from both sides:

ax=c-b

2) Divide both sides by a:

x=c/a-b/a
