(\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

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The number of cats an frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

For some reason the equation has (c+f) grouped off from the rest, since in an equation the first step is to take care of things in the parentheses, first you must add the two together, and based on the description, you know that c is the number of cats and f is the number of frogs.  Therefore adding them together would get the total number of cats and frogs.

Linda had 84 fliers to post around town. Last week, she posted 1/3 of them. This week, she posted 2/7 of the remaining fliers. H
Jobisdone [24]

The remaining number of flires that Linda still not posted is 40.

According to the given question.

The total number of fliers Linda have = 84

Fraction of fliers Linda posted = 1/3

And, fraction of fliers Linda posted second time from the remaning fliers = 2/7

Now,

1/3 of 84 fliers = 1/3 × 84 = 28

So, the number of fliers are left with Linda after first posting = 84 - 28 = 56

Again she posted 2/7 fliers. The number of flires Linda posted second time is given by

⇒ 2/7 × 56 = 16

Thereore,  the number of fliers that Lindna still not posted  = 56 - 16 = 40

Hence, Linda still not posted 40 fliers.
