Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to 2^5=32?

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer: $5=log_{2}(32)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, you have if $y=b^{x}$ , then $x=log_{b}(y)$

2. Keeping this on mind, you must follow the proccedure shown below:

- You have that:

$2^{5}=32$

Where:

$x=5\\y=32\\b=2$

- Substitute values into $x=log_{b}(y)$ . Then, you obtain:

$5=log_{2}(32)$

Answer:

1) (4,4) 2) (4,0) 3) (6,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\frac{5+13}{2} )(\frac{7+1}{2} )\\(\frac{8}{2} )(\frac{8}{2} )\\(4,4)$

$(\frac{-3+7}{2} )(\frac{-3+3}{2} )\\(\frac{4}{2} )(\frac{0}{2} )\\(4,0)$

$\frac{-5+x_2}{2} =1$ multiply 1 by 2=2 then write $(+5)-5+x_2=1(+5)\\x_2 = 6$

$\frac{3+y_2}{2} =2$ multiply 2 by 2= 4 then write $(-3)3+y_2=4(-3)\\y_2=1$
