Lynn has a box of crayons.

Scrat [10]

Answer:

<em>There are 72 crayons in the box</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fractions</u>

To solve this problem we'll manage numbers as fractions to keep the precision up to the end of it.

Lynn has a box of crayons. It's given 4/9 of the crayons are blue. The remaining crayons are:

$1-\frac{4}{9}=\frac{5}{9}$

From that portion, 65% are red, or equivalently, 35% are yellow.

We write 35% as a fraction:

$\displaystyle 35\%=\frac{35}{100}=\frac{7}{20}$

Thus, the portion of yellow crayons is:

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{20}\cdot \frac{5}{9}=\frac{7}{36}$

This fraction of x crayons is equal to 14, thus:

$\displaystyle x=\frac{14}{\frac{7}{36}}=14\cdot\frac{36}{7}$

x = 72

There are 72 crayons in the box

Log (3x+1) - Log (2x+5)= 1

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

$\huge \red { \boxed{x = - \frac{49}{17}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$log(3x + 1) - log(2x + 5) = 1 \\ \\ log \: \frac{3x + 1}{2x + 5} = log \: 10..( \because \: log \: 10 = 1) \\ \\ \frac{3x + 1}{2x + 5} = 10 \\ \\ 3x + 1 = 20x + 50 \\ 3x - 20x = 50 - 1 \\ \\ - 17x = 49 \\ \\ x = \frac{49}{ - 17} \\ \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{x = - \frac{49}{17}}} \\$
