Emil starts the day with <u>16 liters</u> of lemonade if he is left with 4 liters by the end of the day. Computed using the fractional values given.

Let the initial quantity of lemonade with Emil be x liters.

Quantity sold by Emil in the morning = Half of his lemonade = (1/2)x liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x - x/2 = x/2 liters, that is half fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil at lunchtime = Quarter of what was left = (1/4)(x/2) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = x/2 - x/8 = 3x/8 liters, that is the three-eight fraction of x.

Quantity sold by Emil in the afternoon = One-third of what was left = (1/3)(3x/8) liters = x/8 liters, that is the one-eight fraction of x.

Quantity left with Emil = 3x/8 - x/8 = x/4 liters, that is the quarter fraction of x.

Now, we are said that Emil closes for the day with 4 liters remaining.

Therefore, x/4 = 4, or, x = 4*4 = 16 liters.

Therefore, Emil started the day with 16 liters of lemonade.

Solve 14x + 1 = 36.<br> Round to the nearest ten-thousandth.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

x≈ 3.2056

Step-by-step explanation:

Set both sides by log.  Then, solve for x.

1. 14^(x + 1) = 36

(x + 1)log(14) = log(36)

x + 1 = log(36)/log(14) . . . Divide both sides by log(14)

x = log(36)/log(14) - 1 . . . . Subtract both sides by 1.

x ≈ 0.3579 . . . . . . . . . . . .Use calculator to simplify the expression.

Note that the second problem is similar  to the first.

2. 12^(y - 2) = 20

(y - 2)log(12) = log(20)

y - 2 = log(20)/log(12)

y = log(20)/log(12) + 2

y ≈ 3.2056
