Answer: 19 macaroons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create an equation to represent this situation. Let x represent the number of macaroons that Em made.
33=x+x+5
33=2x+5
33-5=2x+5-5
28=2x
28/2=2x/2
14=x
This means that Em made 14 macaroons.
14+5=19
Therefore, Jim baked 19 macaroons.
The scale factor 0.05 refers to length, so for area the scale factor is 0.05²=0.0025.
We then multiply: 220 ft²*0.0025=0.55 ft² (choice A)
Answer:
k = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference means subtract.
2k - 8 = 12
is how that statement is translated.
Add 8 to both sides.
2k - 8 + 8 = 12 + 8
2k = 20
Divide by 2
2k/2 = 20/2
k = 10
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x = 12
divide by 3
x =12/3
Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...
- all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
- y is a factor of every exponent
The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.

To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.
(3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)
-5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3
14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y
y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution
______
The rules of exponents we used are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
1/a^b = a^-b
