(\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

A 40 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second price is 4times as long as the first piece and the third piece
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the first piece be x

Let the second piece 4x

Let the third piece = 5x

Total length = 40 inches.

Equation

x + 4x + 5x = 40                Combine

Solution

10x = 40                             Divide by 10

10x/10 = 40/10        

x = 4

Answer

The smallest piece (x) = 4

The middle piece 4x  = 4*4 = 16

The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20
