If 5a=-4b+5 and 3a=-2b+3, what is 6b?

There are two equations and two variables. You can solve for each variable using either the elimination method or the substitution method. Here, I believe the elimination method would be best:
5a = -4b + 5
3a = -2b + 3
You can multiply the second equation by two, so the 4b and -4b in both equations will cancel each other out when you add them. So:
5a = -4b +5
6a = 4b +6
Add both equations together.
11a = 11
a = 1
Plug in the a value into any of the previous equations:
5(1) = -4b + 5
-4b = 0
b = 0
So, since we know that b = 0, 6b is also 0.

In a city, 60% of the residents live in houses and 40% of the residents live in apartments. Of the people who live in houses, 20
Step2247 [10]
75%; so if we say there are 100 people in this city that means 60 of them live in houses and 40 of them live in apartments. Of the 60 living in houses 20% of them (12% of total population; 60 x .20) own their own business and those in apartments (40) 10% of them (4% of total pop.; 40 x .10) have their own business. In total 16 of the 100 people have businesses and 12 of those people live in houses so 12/16 equals .75. We multiply this by 100 to get the percent so there’s 75% that a person who owns a business in this city will also live in a house.

What is the exponential form of root 17
shusha [124]

Answer:  17^{1/2}

This is 17 to the 1/2 power

The rule is

\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{1/n}

the n is the index of the root. For square roots, n = 2, so,

\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{1/n}\\\\\sqrt[2]{17} = 17^{1/2}\\\\\sqrt{17} = 17^{1/2}\\
