Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount from Maria be x

Maggie receives 1/5 x hence remainder is x-1/5 x=4/5x

Journi receives 3/8 of 4/5x=3/8 *4/5x=3/10x

Total by Maggie and Journi is 1/5x +3/10x=1/2x

Remainder is x-1/2x=1/2x

If Terrence receives the rest which is 1/2x to represent $10 then x=$10*2=$20

Amount Maggie receives is 1/5*$20=$4

You start driving north for 9 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 40 miles. At the end of driving, what is your straig
Vsevolod [243]

The straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Distance covered towards north, n = 9 miles

Distance covered towards east, e = 40 miles

Distance from the origin to the end, x = ?

If we imagine this, then the route forms a right angle triangle

where,

n is the height

e is the base

x is the hypotenuse

Using pythagoras theorm:

(x)² = (n)² + (e)²

(x)² = (9)² + (40)²

(x)² = 1681

x = 41 miles

Therefore, the straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.

Mike is working on solving the exponential equation 37^x = 12; however, he is not quite sure where to start.
Rainbow [258]

The solution of the given exponential equation is 0.688.

Given that Mike is working on solving the exponential equation 37ˣ = 12.

An exponential equation is an exponential equation where the power (or)  part of the exponent is a variable.

firstly, we have to slve this equation is by converting it to logarithmic form. Any exponential equation can be transformed into an equivalent logarithmic equation as follows:

aˣ = y

logₐy = x

Now, we will apply this transformation to our equation and we get

log₃₇12=x

Further, we will apply the change of base formula so that solution is written in terms of base 10 logs:

x=log12/log37

So, this is an exact answer to given equation, but we can simplify it further by using decimal approximation of it using a calculator. Remember that these logs are base 10:

x≈1.079/1.568

x=0.688

Hence, the solution of the given exponential equation 37ˣ=12 is 0.688.
