Explain how to determine if the two expressions are equivalent using x = 6 and x = 10.
8x + 40
8(x + 5)

1. 120 o 88

Step-by-step explanation:

8(6)+40=88

8(10)+40=120

If you use any value to X the answers will be the same in both cases

If both expressions have the same value after substituting and simplifying for x = 6 and x = 10, then they are equivalent. Substitute 6 for each variable, x, in both expressions. Use the order of operations to simplify both expressions. The value of both expressions is 88. Now, substitute 10 for each variable, x, in both expressions. Use the order of operations to simplify both expressions. The value of both expressions is 120. Therefore, the expressions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

got it right!

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
