That number would be -3.

For the purpose of solving this, let that number be x. Now write out the front side of the equation:

2x (twice a number) - 5 (five less than)

2x - 5

Now write out the other side

1/2 (one half of) (3x - 13) (The difference of 3 times the number and 13)

1/2(3x - 13)

Now set the two sides equal to each other and solve

2x - 5 = 1/2(3x - 13) ----> multiply both sides by 2

4x - 10 = 3x - 13 ----> subtract 3x from both sides

x - 10 = -13 -----> add 10 to both sides

x = -3

Isabelle bought some stationery.1/3 of them. Were pencils.5/8 of the remainder were erasers and the rest were rulers.The table s
serg [7]

Answer:

1/4 ; $28.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of stationeries:

Pencil:$1.20

Eraser:$1

Ruler:$0.50

Total : $169.50

Let total Stationeries purchased = t

Fraction of pencils = 1/3t

Remainder = t - 1/3 = 2/3t

Fraction of eraser = 5/8 of remainder

Thus ;

Fraction of eraser = 5/8 * (2/3)t= 10/24 = (5/12)t

Rest were ruler ;

(2/3)t - (5/12)t= (8 - 5)/12

= 3 / 12 = 1/4t

Fraction of rulers = 1/4

Amount spent on erasers:

(5/12) of the total cost of stationery

(5/12) * 169.50 = $70.625

B.) How much more did she spend on erasers than rulers

Amount spent on rulers :

(1/4) * $169.50 = $42.375

Take the difference :

$(70.625 - 42.375) = $28.25

4ln x -8=12 its giving me other equations
kogti [31]

The solution of the given logarithmic equation is x = 28.1

<h3>How to solve the logarithmic equation?</h3>

Here we have the logarithmic equation:

4*ln(x - 8) = 12

And we want to solve this for x.

Remember the relations:

ln(e^x) = x\\e^{ln(x)} = x

First, we divide both sides by 4:

ln(x - 8) = 12/4 = 3

Then, if we apply the exponential equation to both sides of our equation, we get:

e^{ln(x - 8)} = e^{3}\\\\x - 8 = e^3\\\\x = e^3 + 8 = 28.1

Answer:

Length of the room is   180 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangular room with dimensions:

width  =  70  ft       and  length    "x" (unknown)

Perimeter of a rectangle   is   2*w  +  2*x    and according to problem statement 500 ft of lights will fit exactly in room perimeter then:

2*70  +  2*x   =  500

140  + 2*x  =  500

2*x  =  500 - 140

2*x  = 360

x  = 360/2

x  =  180  ft
