What is the solution of the proportion 14/12=d/48

Hello there!

Just use algebra and cross multiply :)

14/12 = d/48

(14 * 48) = 12d
672 = 12d
56 = d

You can check this by plugging 56 for d and simplifying the two fractions to see if they are equal.

14/12 = 7/6
56/48 = 7/6

So, d=56 is correct.

Hope this helps!

I NEED HELP!! please show all work

Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.

$4^{5x} = 3^{x-2}$

$\implies \log 4^{5x} = \log 3^{x-2}$

Drop the exponents:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = (x-2) \log 3$

Expand the right side:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = x \log 3 - 2 \log 3$

Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :

$\implies 5x \log 4 - x \log 3 = - 2 \log 3$

$\implies x (5 \log 4 - \log 3) = - 2 \log 3$

Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ 2 \log 3 }{ 5 \log 4 - \log 3 }}$

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 3^2 }{ \log 4^5 - \log 3 }$

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log 1024 - \log 3 }$

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log \frac{1024}3 }}$

You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,

$\implies \boxed{x = -\log_{\frac{1024}3}9}$

he yearbook club had a meeting. The meeting had 24 people, which is three-fourths of the club. How many people are in the club

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

32 people

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3/4 equals 24, we need to find the other fourth. We can divided the total number of people by the numerator. 24/8, then add 8, which equals 32.

A wheel turns through 200 revolutions per minute. How fast does it turn in radians per second?

lana [24]

Answer:

In one second it turns 200 / 60 = 3 1/3 revolutions. Since one revolution is 360°, the answer is 6 2/3 π radians.
