Answer:
9.7 units
Step-by-step explanation:
28. 20 cookies= 6 ounces
?=15 ounces
(20*15)/6 = 300/6 = 50 cookies
-4x-2(8x=1)=-(2x-10)
-First, use the distributive property.
So distribute -2 to 8x=1 then distribute the negative - to (2x-10)
So it'd be: -4x-16x=-2=-2x+10
Then combine like terms:
-20x=-2=-2x+10
-18x=-2=10
-18x=8
Divide -18x by 8
x=-2.25
Answer:1
Step-by-step explanation:
because the first number is always the x
Answer:
0.08
Step-by-step explanation:
Please use parentheses to indicate which operations must be done first. I 'm choosing to believe that you meant 7^(3x-1) and 5^(x-1).
Taking the common log of both sides, we get:
(3x-1)log 7 = (x-1)log 5
Then 3x·log 7 - log 7 = x log 5 - log 5
Grouping the x terms:
x(3·log 7 - log 5) = log 7 - log 5. We combine log 7 and log 5, obtaining log (7/5).
Then x(3·log 7 - log 5) = log (7/5).
Solving for x:
log (7/5)
x = ---------------------
3·log 7 - log 5
0.1461
x = ------------- = 0.08
1.0363
This agrees with the 3rd answer choice.
