The answer to that equation is X= -1
Answer:
Slope(m) = 16
Y intercept (c) = 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Points : (x1, y1) = (2, 55)
(x2, y2) = (4, 87)
Using two point form to calculate slope:


m = 16
To find y intercept:
Take any one point ans slope :
Using slope point formula:
y = mx + c
87 = 16(4) + c
Solving for c:
c = 23
Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.
3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0. Factor out x^(5/3): x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0
Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.
In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3.
To solve this: mult. both sides by x^(-2/3). Then we have
4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3), or 4 = 3x^(-2/3). It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as
4 3
--- = --------------------
1 x^(+2/3)
Then
4
--- = x^(-2/3). Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2). According to my 3 calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)
Check this result! subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation. Is the equation then true?
My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been. Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?
You would pay 80% of the original price because 1/5 is 20% and you would subtract 20 from 100 to get 80 as your answer
Hope this Helps :3
171/500....... is the answer
