Write an equation for ben is 5 years older than john. the sum of john's age and twice ben's age equals 46. how old is john?

1 answer:

4 0

X represents John's age
Ben = x+5
John = x

x+2(x+5)=46
use the distributive property for 2(x+5)

x+2x+10=46
combine like terms

3x+10=46
subtract 10 from each side

3x=36
divide both sides by 3

x=12

John is 12 years old.

What is the inverse of f(x)=2^x

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=2^x$

$y = {2}^{x}$

$x = {2}^{y}$

${2}^{y} = x$

$ln( {2}^{y} )=ln(x)$

$yln(2)=ln(x)$

<h3> $\frac{yln(2)}{ln(2)} = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3> $y = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3> ${f}^{ - 1} (x) = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3>Hope it is helpful...</h3>

let's start with the perimeter: the perimeter is the total length to the sides/edges of a shape.

since we're dealing with a rectangle, there will be 4 sides

two lengths & two widths

so 48+48+16+16=128 inches

Find the slope and y intercept 2x+3y=1,470

oksano4ka [1.4K]

First we need to put it in slope intercept form (solve for y). Then we get tex]y= -\frac{2}{3} x+490[/tex]. So the slope is-2/3 and the y intercept is 490.
