1 answer:

7 0

${x}^{2} + 4x - 4 = 8 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 4x - 4 - 8 = 0 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 4x - 12 = 0 \\ = > {x}^{2} + 6x - 2x - 12 = 0 \\ = > x(x + 6) - 2(x + 6) = 0 \\ = > (x - 2)(x + 6) = 0 \\ = > x = 2 \: \: \: or \: \: \: x = - 6$

Answer:

x = -6 or x = 2

Hope you could get an idea from here.

What is the value of x in the equation 0.2(x + 1) + 0.5x = –0.3(x – 4)?

Leokris [45]

$0.2(x + 1) + 0.5x = -0.3(x - 4)$

$0.2x+0.2+0.5x=-0.3x+1.2

 
$

$0.7x+0.2=-0.3x+1.2$

$0.7x=-0.3x+1.2-0.2$

$0.7x=-0.3x+1$

$0.7x+0.3x=1$

$x=1$

Simplity (4^-2)^5 A.1/4^10 B. 4^3 C.1/4^3 D. 4^10

Goshia [24]

Answer:

$(4^{-2})^5=\dfrac{1}{4^{10}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is : $(4^{-2})^5$

We need to simplify the above expression.

We know that, $x^{-a}=\dfrac{1}{x^a}$

$(4^{-2})^5=(\dfrac{1}{4^2})^5\\\\=\dfrac{1^5}{(4^2)^5}\\\\\because (x^b)^c=x^{b\times c}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{4^{10}}$

So, the simplified form of the given expression is $\dfrac{1}{4^{10}}$ . Hence, the correct option is (A).
