Create a proportion.

2/4.20 = 5/x

Cross multiply.

2 * x = 4.20 * 5

2x = 21

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 10.5

5 pounds of peaches will cost <u>$10.50.</u>

Which of the following is true regarding the solutions to the logarithmic equation below? 2 log Subscript 6 Baseline (x) = 2. lo

Serggg [28]

Option c: x=6 is a true solution and x=-6 is an extraneous solution.

Explanation:

The equation is $2 \log _{6} x=2$

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get,

$\frac{2 \log _{6}(x)}{2}=\frac{2}{2}$

Simplifying,

$\log _{6}(x)=1$

Since, we know by the logarithmic definition, if $\log _{a}(b)=c$ , then $b=a^{c}$

Using this definition, we have,

$x=6^{1}$

Hence, $x=6$

Now, let us verify if $x=6$ is the solution.

Substitute $x=6$ in the equation $2 \log _{6} x=2$ to see whether both sides of the equation are true.

We have,

$2 \log _{6}(6)$

Using the log rule, $\log _{a}(a)=1$

We have,

$2*1=2$

Hence, both sides of the equation are equal.

Thus, $x=6$ is the true solution.

Virty [35]

Answer:

probability of 1st defective = 0.844

correct option is d. 0.844

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

probability defective = 0.17%

undefective microscopes = 100

to find out

the probability that the first defective microscope

solution

we know defective probability P = 0.17% = 0.0017

so non defective probability (1-P) = 1 - 0.0017

non defective probability (1-P) = 0.9983

and

1st defective come after 100 it mean 1st 100 are non defective so

probability of 1st defective = $(1-P)^{100}$

probability of 1st defective = $(0.9983)^{100}$

probability of 1st defective = 0.844

so correct option is d. 0.844

Degger [83]

String A is 35 cm long, string B is 5 times as long as string A, then string B is 35·5=175 cm long. In total both strings have length 35+175=210 cm.

The total length of string needed for 17 identical decirative bottes is $210\cdot 17=3570$ cm that is 35.7 m.
