Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
9^2 * 27^3 = 3^x
We need to get each term with a base of 3
9^2 = (3^2) ^2
We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)
(3^2) ^2 = 3^(2+2) = 3^4
27^3 = (3^3) ^3 = 3^(3*3) = 3^9
Replacing these in the original equation
3^4 * 3^9 = 3^x
We know that a^b *a^c = a^(b+c)
3^4 * 3^9 =3^(4+9) = 3^13 = 3^x
The bases are the same, so the exponents must be the same
x=13
Answer:
last option
Step-by-step explanation:
To prove that ΔEFG is also a right triangle, you must prove that KL = EF so that in ΔKLM c² = a² + b² which would make ΔEFG a right triangle.
Distance between the two cities:
453 - 333 = 120 miles.
Rest area is 2/3 of the way:
120 x 2/3 = 240/3 = 80 miles.
Divide the miles to the rest stop by his speed:
80 miles/ 60 miles per hour = 1 and 1/3 hours as a fraction. 1.3333 as a decimal( round as needed.
( 1 hour and 20 minutes)
The slope for this equation is x=3
Let's first establish what we already know for this problem.
x = total number of hotdogs sold
y = total profit from total sales of hotdogs
Let's also establish the other equations which we will require in order to solve this problem.
Equation No. 1 -
Profit for 40 hotdogs = $90 profit
Equation No. 2 -
Profit for 80 hotdogs = $210 profit
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION
From this, we can use the formula y = mx + b & substitute the values for x & y from one of the two previous equations into the formula in order to obtain the values of m & b for the final equation. Here is an example of the working out as displayed below:
Firstly, using the first or second equation, we make either m or b the subject. Here I have used the first equation and made m the subject:
Equation No. 1 -
y = mx + b
90 = m ( 40 ) + b
40m = 90 - b
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40
Now, make b the subject in the second equation as displayed below:
Equation No. 2 -
y = mx + b
210 = m ( 80 ) + b
210 = 80m + b
b = 210 - 80m
Then, substitute m from the first equation into the second equation.
Equation No. 2 -
b = 210 - 80m
b = 210 - 80 [ ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - [ 80 ( 90 - b ) / 40 ]
b = 210 - 2 ( 90 - b )
b = 210 - 180 - 2b
b - 2b = 30
- b = 30
b = - 30
Now, substitute b from the second equation into the first equation.
Equation No. 1 -
m = ( 90 - b ) / 40
m = ( 90 - ( - 30 ) / 40
m = ( 90 + 30 ) / 40
m = 120 / 40
m = 3
Through this, we have established that:
m = 3
b = - 30
Therefore, the final equation to model the final profit, y, based on the number of hotdogs sold, x, is as follows:
y = mx + b
y = ( 3 )x + ( - 30 )
ANSWER:
y = 3x - 30
