(\frac{4}{9})^x\cdot (\frac{8}{27})^{1-x} =\frac{2}{3}\\((\frac{2}{3})^2)^x\cdot ((\frac{2}{3})^3)^{1-x} =\frac{2}{3}\\(\frac{2}{3})^{2x}\cdot (\frac{2}{3})^{3-3x} =\frac{2}{3}\\(\frac{2}{3})^{2x+3-3x} =\frac{2}{3}\\(\frac{2}{3})^{-x+3} =\frac{2}{3}\\-x+3=1\\-x=1-3\\-x=-2\ /:(-1)\\x=2

X=2

All this stuff is wrong I screwed up somewhere:
IGNORE EVERYTHING BELOW THIS:
take the natural log of both sides of the equation.

ln(( \frac{4}{9})^{x}  )   \times  \ ln(( \frac{8}{27})^{(1 - x)} ) =  ln( \frac{2}{3} )
Remembering your log rules:

ln( {a}^{b} )  = b  \: ln(a)
Using this rule we rewrite the first equation:
x \:  ln( \frac{4}{9} )  \times (1 - x) \:  ln( \frac{8}{27} )  =  ln( \frac{2}{3} )
Simplify:
x ln( \frac{4}{9} )  \times ( ln( \frac{8}{27}) - x \:  ln( \frac{8}{27} )  )
Solve for some of these ln's to make life easier:

- .81x \:  \times ( - 1.22 - 1.22x) =  - .41
Distribute:
(.988x + .988x^{2} ) =  - .41

Factor out .988
.988(x +  {x}^{2} ) =  - .41 \\ (x +  {x}^{2} ) =  \frac{ - .41}{.988}  \\ (x +  {x}^{2} ) = -  .415

Kari is adding a ribbon border to the edge of her kite. Two sides of the kite measure 9.5 inches each, and the other two sides m
Softa [21]
17.8 multiplied by 2 is 35.6
9.5 multiplied by 2 is 19
Now you take both of them and add them together.
35.6 + 19 = 54.6 

Your answer should be 54.6 inches of ribbon.

Hope this helps.

The inequality of the graph
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

\displaystyle y > 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting from the y-intercept of \displaystyle [0, -2],you do \displaystyle \frac{rise}{run}by either moving four blocks <em>south</em><em> </em>over one block <em>west</em><em> </em>or four blocks <em>north</em><em> </em>over one block<em> east</em><em> </em>[<em>west</em> and <em>south</em> are negatives]. Next, we have to determine the types of inequality symbols that are suitable for this graph, which will be <em>less</em><em> </em><em>than</em><em> </em>and <em>greater</em><em> </em><em>than</em><em> </em>since this is a <em>dashed</em><em> </em><em>line</em><em> </em>graph. We then use the zero-interval test [test point (0, 0)] to ensure whether we shade the opposite portion [portion that does not contain the origin] or the portion that DOES contain the origin. At this step, we must verify the inequalities as false or true:

<em>Greater</em><em> </em><em>than</em>

\displaystyle 0 > 4[0] - 2 → 0 > -2☑

<em>Less</em><em> </em><em>than</em><em> </em>

\displaystyle 0 < 4[0] - 2 → 0 ≮ -2

This graph is shaded in the portion of the origin, so you would choose the <em>greater</em><em> </em><em>than</em><em> </em>inequality symbol to get this inequality:

\displaystyle y > 4x - 2

A clothing store sold 4 times as many sweaters as coats. The difference in the sales was 300. How many of each were sold?
slava [35]
Sweater = 400
coats = 100
difference= 300
in an equation it would be
4x-x=300
so
3x=300
x=100
sweaters= 4x= 400
coats= x= 100

You triple your account balance by making a deposit. Then you withdraw $28.50 from your bank account. Now your account is overdr
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = your original account balance.

You triple your account balance by making a deposit. This means

New account balance = 3 × x = 3x

Then you withdraw $28.50 from your bank account. This means that you have $(3x - 28.5) left.

Now your account is overdrawn by $10.50. This means you have withdrawn beyond what you have in your account. Your new account balance is -$10.5. Therefore,

3x - 28.5 = - 10.5

3x = -10.5 + 28.5 = 18

x = 18/3 = 6

Your original account balance before you made the deposit is $6
