Does anyone know how to solve these two math problems??!

1. x = -1

2. y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5(5x+2) = 4(x+3)

5-5x+2 = 4x+12

5-5x+2 = 4x+12

-5x+3 = 4x+12

     -3         -3

-5x = 4x+9

-4x    -4x

-9x = 9

x = -1

2. -3³-2(2y-2) = 5y+4

-27-4y+4 = 5y+4

-4y-23 = 5y+4

     -4          -4

-4y-27 = 5y

+4y         +4y

-27 = 9y

y = -3

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)
