Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, distrubute 2 to our parentheses (2x - 10). Now, let's add our like terms, 2x - 10 = 4x + 6 since x alone is one we add this to 3x, equaling 4x. Then we're going to move our variable and sign, 2x - 10 - 4x = 6. Alright, now combine like terms and calculate (2x - 4x), we know when we subtract two and four, it's a negative 2, -2x = 6 + 10 = 16. Now divide both sides of the equation by -2, 16 divided by -2 is -8. Therefore, x = -8, hope this helped! Have a great day!

kakasveta [241]

Step-by-step explanation:

$(7^2)^3=7^5\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\\text{because}\\\\7^2=7\cdot7\\\\(7^2)^3=(7\cdot7)^3=(7\cdot7)\cdot(7\cdot7)\cdot(7\cdot7)=\underbrace{7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7\cdot7}_6=7^6\\\\\text{or use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\(7^2)^3=7^{2\cdot3}=7^6$

What is the pattern in the values as the exponents increase?

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the pattern in the values as the exponents increase.

First value is 1/3

if we multiply 3 with 1/3 i.e. 1/3*3 we get 1

The next value is 1 in the table.

Now, if we multiply 1 with 3 i.e. 1*3 we get 3

The next value is 3 in the table.

Now, if we multiply 3 with 3 i.e 3*3 we get 9

So, the next value is 9 in the table.

So, if we multiply 3 with the previous value we get the next value in the table.

Hence Option D multiply the previous value by 3 is correct.
