I would say gaudy , it’s pretty descriptive
Answer:
- as written, c ≈ 0.000979 or c = 4
- alternate interpretation: c = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>As written</em>, you have an equation that cannot be solved algebraically.
(32^2)c = 8^c
1024c = 8^c
1024c -8^c = 0 . . . . . . rewrite as an expression compared to zero
A graphical solution shows two values for c: {0.000978551672551, 4}. We presume you're interested in c = 4.
___
If you mean ...
32^(2c) = 8^c
(2^5)^(2c) = (2^3)^c . . . . rewriting as powers of 2
2^(10c) = 2^(3c) . . . . . . . simplify
10c = 3c . . . . . . . . . . . . . .log base 2
7c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3c
c = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
You can again ignore the parenthesis because you are not distributing anything.
Your equation will look like this
3x + 11 + 6x
You can move each of these numbers around any way you like. You can combine the 3x and the 6x if you want, but they did not do that. You cannot take the x away and put it in front of the 11 though.
B. is your answer. All they did was move the 6x inside the parenthesis and the 11 out of the parenthesis.
Always remember, when you are adding things together, the parenthesis don't matter!
Let’s condense the original expression and see if that’s one of the answers
-1/2(-3/2 x + 6x + 1) - 3x
First we distribute the -1/2
((-1/2)(-3/2 x) + (-1/2)(6x) + (-1/2)(1)) -3x
3/4x - 3x - 1/2 -3x
Combine like terms
(3/4 x - 3x - 3x) -1/2
-21/4 x - 1/2
We could make this a mixed number
-5 1/4 x - 1/2
(Mixed number: 5 times 4 plus one gets the numerator)
So the answer is D
