If we are given x such that 25^x-9^y=18 and 5^x-3^y=3, compute 5^x+3^y.

25 = 5*5 and 9 = 3*3, which we can exploit to write

25^x-9^y=(5^2)^x-(3^2)^y=5^{2x}-3^{2y}=(5^x)^2-(3^y)^2

so that this expression is actually a difference of squares. We can factorize this to get

(5^x-3^y)(5^x+3^y)=18

and given that 5^x-3^y=3, we divide both sides by this to get

5^x+3^y=\dfrac{18}3=\boxed{6}

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

  • 21°

Step-by-step explanation:

A boat captain, lighthouse and its base form a right triangle.

<u>We need to find the angle opposite to 22 ft side:</u>

  • tan x = 22/103
  • x = arctan (22/103)
  • x = 21°

<em>Note, option D should read 21° not 11°</em>

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both sides by (x-5) and expand:

(x+4)/(x-5)*(x-5) = -2(x-5)

x+4 = -2x+10

Subtract 4 from both sides:

x+4-4 = -2x+10-4

x = -2x+6

Add 2x to both sides:

x+2x = -2x+6+2x

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 6/3

x = 2

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

15.) -7x + 6 (x - 8/2) - 2(x + 3) + 10

-7x + 6 (x - 4) - 2(x + 3) + 10

-7x + 6x - 24 - 2x - 6 + 10

Bring like terms together

-7x + 6x - 2x - 24 - 6 + 10

-3x - 20

16.) B, C, D

B. 3 (x + 2) + 4x

3x + 6 + 4x = 7x + 6

C. -2 + 4(x + 3)

-2 + 4x + 12 = 4x + 10

D. 3x + 5(x - 1)

3x + 5x - 5

8x - 5

17.) A, B, D

A. 1/5(x - 50)

1/5x - 10

B. 1/6(-x + 12)

-1/6x + 2

D. 1/2(x + 16)

1/2x + 8
