2x + 5 = 27
2x + 5 (-5) = 27 (-5)
2x = 22

2x/2 = 22/2

x = 11

Serga [27]

Sales in December = 10,000*15.90 = $159,000

For 5% forecast growth each month;

Sales in January = (1+0.05)*Sales in December = 1.05*159,000 = $166,950
Sales in February = (1+0.05)*Sales in January = 1.05*166,950 = $175,297.50

The company should budget for $175,297.50 sales in February.

laila [671]

Here we will use exponential form, which is

$y = y_{0} e^{kt}$

Initial value, y0 = 500

Double of 500 = 1000

$1000 = 500e^{k*1}$

$2 = e^k$

$k= ln (2)$

Required equation is

$y=500e^{x ln2} \\ y= 500 (2)^x$

If 3a-2b= 8 and a+3b=7 what is the value of 4a+b?

Fittoniya [83]

Step 1: Find the value of one variable in terms of the other.

$a+3b=7\\a=7-3b$

Step 2: Substitute the value you just found for this variable in the other equation.

$3a-2b=8\\3(7-3b)-2b=8\\21-9b-2b=8\\21-11b=8\\21=8+11b\\13=11b\\\frac{13}{11}=b\\ b=1\frac{2}{11}$

Step 3: Use your new value for the second variable to find the first.

$a+3b=7\\a+3(1\frac{2}{11})=7\\a+3\frac{6}{11}=7\\\\a=3\frac{5}{11}$

Now that we know the values for a and b we can find the value of 4a+b.

$4a+b\\4(3\frac{5}{11})+1\frac{2}{11}\\12+\frac{20}{11}+1\frac{2}{11}\\\\12+1\frac{9}{11}+1\frac{2}{11}\\\\\boxed{15}$
