We have been given an expression 
. We have been given steps how Chris tried to solve the given expression. We are asked to choose the correct option about Chris's work.
Let us simplify our given expression.
Using exponent property, 
, we cab rewrite our given expression as:
Now we will use exponent property 
to further simplify our expression.
Therefore, Chris made mistake in step 2.
X/8 + 12 = 16
start by subtracting twelve from both sides
x/8 + 12 = 16
- 12 -12
You're left with x/8 = 4
Multiply both sides by 8
8× x/8 = 4 ×8
Your answer is x = 32
If you need to simplify, the answer is 2.
Answer:
B) -125a^11
Step-by-step explanation:
(-5a^2)^3·a^5 = (-5)^3·a^6·a^5
= (-5)^3·a^(2·3)·a^5
= (-5)^3·a^6·a^5
= -125·a^(6+5)
= -125·a^11 . . . . matches choice B
_____
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
