What is the solution to the opening sentence? 4x - 4 = 2x + 2 1). 2 2). 3 3). 4 4). 5

Hello.

The answewr is: 3

Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.

4x−4−2x=2x+2−2x

2x−4=2

Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.

2x−4+4=2+4

2x=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x2=6/2

Have a nice day

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
