(\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

Find the missing angles.
Feliz [49]

Answer:

a=30  b=30 c= 75

Step-by-step explanation:

By inferring that all triangles are the same measurments, you can easily knock out A and B since it is the same angle that is labeled 30 degrees.

Now to find C you need to know that all angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. You also need to know that both bottom angles are the same angle measurement, indicated by the little circle in the angle.

So, For the middle triangle you can create an equation. 30(which was b) + 2c = 180

Subtract 30 from both sides and you are left with:

2c = 150

Divide by 2 on each side:

c= 75

You get 20 point if you answer
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

A. Genevieve

B. Sierra

Step-by-step explanation:

Genevieve uses 5 balloons per animal, but Sierra uses 6. We can find this by subtracting 360 from 440 (which gets us 80). To find the unit rate, we divide 20 into 80 (the amount of balloons used when she made 20 animals), and we get 4. So, Sierra uses 4 balloons per animal.

Since Genevieve uses more balloons per animal <em>and </em>started with less balloons than Sierra (she started with 425, versus Sierra, who started with 440), Sierra will have made more animals by the end of the day.

I hope this helps!

Ne4ueva [31]

The amount of money Shai saved:

25.4 \times  \frac{3}{4} = 19.05

The amount of money Nyah saved:

19.05 \times 2 = 38.1

The total amount three people saved:

38.1 + 25.4 + 19.05 = 82.55
