A’s increase is 1.8/1.5=6/5; B’s increase is 1/0.6=5/3.
A formula for A is A(t)=1.5(6/5)^t and for B, B(t)=0.6(5/3)^t where t is years since 2004.
When A=B, 1.5(6/5)^t=0.6(5/3)^t.
Taking logs: log1.5+tlog(6/5)=log0.6+tlog(5/3), t(log(5/3)-log(6/5))=log1.5-log0.6.
tlog(25/18)=log2.5, t=log2.5/log(25/18)=2.7893 approx.
This occurs during 2006 around mid-October.
Common sales=1.5(6/5)^2.7893=0.6(5/3)^2.7893=$2.4943 billion.

Find the length of ST. St= 5x+2 and TV = 3x+12 <br> Thank you for anyone who does answer(:
valentina_108 [34]
I think you forgot to include that T is the midpoint of SV, but what this would mean is that ST = TV.
5x + 2 = 3x + 12

Subtract 2 from both sides.
5x = 3x + 10

Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x = 10

Divide both sides by 2.
x = 5

Now plug that x into ST.
ST = 5(5) + 2
ST = 25 + 2
ST = 27
