12 x .89 = 10.68
10.68 x 5= $53.40
answer is $53.40
Black socks on monday - 3/9 or .33%.
white socks on tuesday - 5/9 or .55%
Explanation: Probability of black socks on Monday:
Total pair of socks: 1 + 3 + 5 = 9
Number of black socks on Monday: 3
3/9 = 1/3 (or divide to get a percentage)
Probability of white socks on Tuesday:
Total pair of socks: 9
Number of white socks on Tuesday: 5
5/9
Answer:
use logarithms
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of an expression with a variable in the exponent makes the exponent become a coefficient of the logarithm of the base.

You will note that this approach works well enough for ...
a^(x+3) = b^(x-6) . . . . . . . . . . . variables in the exponents
(x+3)log(a) = (x-6)log(b) . . . . . a linear equation after taking logs
but doesn't do anything to help you solve ...
x +3 = b^(x -6)
There is no algebraic way to solve equations that are a mix of polynomial and exponential functions.

Some functions have been defined to help in certain situations. For example, the "product log" function (or its inverse) can be used to solve a certain class of equations with variables in the exponent. However, these functions and their use are not normally studied in algebra courses.
In any event, I find a graphing calculator to be an extremely useful tool for solving exponential equations.
Answer:
125
Step-by-step explanation:
25 × 5 = 125
x/5 = 25 × 5 = 125
x = 125
For this case we have the following function:

The first thing you should do is graph the function to see the behavior.
When observing the graph (in the attached image) we observe that the following point belongs to the graph:

To prove it, let's evaluate the point in the function:

The equation is fulfilled and therefore the point belongs to the graph.
