14^(7x) = 17^(-8-x)
Take the log of both sides:
7x*log 14 = -(8+x)*log 17, or 7x^log 14 = -8*log 17 - x*log 17.
Grouping the x terms, we get x(7*log 14 + log 17)= -8*log 17
Then:
-8*log 17
x= -------------------------- (answer)
7*log 14 + log 17
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the +16 onto the other side. We now have 52 = -52x. Divide each side by 54 to get x = -1.
I got B for 3
Because
3x<-2x+15
5x<15
X<3
30 + 2w = 2 • (w - 15)
Equation at the end of step 1 :
Step 2 :
Equations which are never true :
Solve : 2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation
Solve : w-15 = 0
Add 15 to both sides of the equation :
w = 15
The correct answer is D, 16 pages per minute. A unit rate is a ratio of something to one; in this case, the ratio is 16:1, or 16 pages to 1 minute. To get the unit rate for this problem, divide both numbers by 5 to get how many pages will be printed per 1 minute. 80/5 = 16, so the copier prints 16 pages in 1 minute. Answer choices A and B are not unit rates, and answer choice C is the incorrect unit rate.
Hope this helps!
