State the negation of the following statement: lines a and b are parallel.

Lines a and b are not parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The negation of any statement p is given by :-

(not p)

The given statement :  Lines a and b are parallel.

To write the negation of the statement we just write opposite of the statement.

Then , the negation of this statement is given by :-

Lines a and b are not parallel.

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

2  

x

​    

=240

=48
