Ok here is what I think.
Let us first number these statements, as #1, and #2.
First statement: 3x + 8y = 12 (1)
Second Statement: 2x + 2y = 3 (2)
Now, we can work from this.
We want to make one of the equations be equal to 0 so that at the end when we check they can be equal to each other.
Let us use 4.
3x+8y=12 1-8x-8y=-12 2
This gives us:-5x = 0
Now we should try and isolate x so we can substitute it into one of the equations.
We have -5x=0
and x=0
3(0)+8y=12
8y=12
y=12/8
y=3/2
Plug in these new equations
y=3/2 and y=0 into any of the first equations
3x+8y=12 3(0)+8(3/2)= 12 8(3/2)=12 4(3)=12 12=12
Now we know it works, thats our check^^
Answer:
The answer is 14.5
Step-by-step explanation:
16a^18 is the answer for what you typed
If the question was ((2a^3)(4a^6)(2a^3))^6, then the answer would be 16a^72.
