Answer

(2x⁵ – 3x⁴ + 7) - (-x⁵ - 3x⁴ - 3)​ = 3x⁵ + 10

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to simplify the equation

(2x⁵ – 3x⁴ + 7) - (-x⁵ - 3x⁴ - 3)​

To do this, we will first open the brackets, then we will simplify further by adding or subtracting like terms.

(2x⁵ – 3x⁴ + 7) - (-x⁵ - 3x⁴ - 3)​

= 2x⁵ – 3x⁴ + 7 + x⁵ + 3x⁴ + 3

​= 2x⁵ + x⁵ - 3x⁴ + 3x⁴ + 7 + 3

= 3x⁵ + 0x⁴ + 10

= 3x⁵ + 10

Hope this Helps!!!

(5/8) ÷ (15/16) + (1/2)

To do this, we will use the order of operation pnemonic, PEMDAS

And in that order of operations, division comes before the addition is done.

So, we solve the first part first

(5/8) ÷ (15/16)

= (5/8) × (16/15)

= (80/120)

= (2/3)

(5/8) ÷ (15/16) + (1/2)

= (2/3) + (1/2)

We take LCM of the denominators first


(2)/(3)+(1)/(2)=(4+3)/(6)=(7)/(6)

(2/3) + (1/2) = (7/6)

(5/8) ÷ (15/16) + (1/2) = (7/6)

Hope this Helps!!!
