The sale on Friday = x = 6

The sale on Saturday = x+2 = 6 + 2 =8

The sale on Sunday = x+4 = 6+4 =10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the sale of Friday

Then

x+2 will be the sale of Saturday

x+4 will be the sale of Sunday

According to the given statement, that the total sales were 24

x+(x+2)+(x+4) = 24\\x+x+2+x+4 = 24\\3x+6 = 24\\Subtracting\ 6\ from\ both\ sides\\3x+6-6=24-6\\3x=18\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{18}{6}\\x=6

The sale on Friday = x = 6

The sale on Saturday = x+2 = 6 + 2 =8

The sale on Sunday = x+4 = 6+4 =10

What are the potential solutions of log4x+log4(x+6)=2?
lions [1.4K]

The potential solutions of log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2 are 2 and -8.

<h3>Properties of Logarithms</h3>

From the properties of logarithms, you can rewrite logarithmic expressions.

The main properties are:

  • Product Rule for Logarithms - log_{b}(a*c)=log_{b}a+log_{b}c
  • Quotient Rule for Logarithms - log_{b}(\frac{a}{c} )=log_{b}a-log_{b}c
  • Power Rule for Logarithms - log_{b}(a^c)=c*log_{b}a

The exercise asks the potential solutions for  log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2. In this expression you can apply the Product Rule for Logarithms.

                                  log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2\\ \\ x*(x+6)=4^2\\ \\ x^2+6x=16\\ \\ x^2+6x-16=0

Now you should solve the quadratic equation.

 

 Δ=b^2-4ac=36-4*1*(-16)=36+64=100. Thus, x will be x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-6\pm \:\sqrt{100} }{2\cdot \:1}=\frac{-6\pm \:10}{2}. Then:

x_1=\frac{-6+10}{2}=\frac{4}{2} =2\\ \\ \:x_2=\frac{-6-10}{2}=\frac{-16}{2} =-8

The potential solutions  are 2 and -8.

What is the correct answer and why show your work
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

A7.45x = y

Step-by-step explanation:


We can use a ratio to solve this problem.  Take the total cost of the lunches and divide by the number of lunches.

y = total cost of lunches and

x = number of lunches

74.50             y

-------------- = ------------

10                     x


Using cross products

74.5 x = 10 y

Divide each side by 10

74.5/10 x= 10y/10

7.45x = y

Help me on number 44 plz
Delvig [45]
All you have to do is write a positive number. let's say 4, then write a positive exponent (that's the tiny number in the right corner of the regular number) and then just write a positive exponent less than 4.
So 4 squared
