Stan's steak house employs 30 servers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Ratio of servers to cook = 5:2

Total numbers of server and cooks = 42

Let,

x be the original number.

Therefore,

Number of servers = 5x

Number of cooks = 2x

$5x+2x=42\\7x=42$

Dividing both sides by 7

$\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{42}{7}\\x=6$

Number of servers = 5x = 5(6) = 30

Stan's steak house employs 30 servers.

Solve for x in the following equation.

WARRIOR [948]

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{5^{x - 2} = 5^8}$

$\mathsf{5^{x - 2} = 5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5}$

$\mathsf{5^{x - 2} = 25\times25\times25\times25}$

$\mathsf{5^{x - 2} = 625\times625}$

$\mathsf{5^{x - 2} =390,625}$

$\large\textsf{Solving for the exponent:}$

$\mathsf{5^{x - 2} =390,625}$

$\large\textsf{Take the log (logarithm) to both of the sides:}$

$\mathsf{log(5^{x - 2} \rightarrow log(390,625)}$

$\large\textsf{Simplify it:}$

$\mathsf{(x - 2) \times(log (5)) \rightarrow log(390,625)}$

$\large\textsf{Simplify that as well:}$

$\mathsf{x - 2 = \dfrac{log(390,625)}{log(5)}}$

$\large\textsf{You get it: }\mathsf{x - 2 = 8}$

$\large\textsf{ADD by 2 to BOTH of the SIDES:}$

$\mathsf{x - 2 + 2 = 8 + 2}$

$\large\textsf{Simplify it:}$

$\mathsf{x = 8 + 2}$

$\mathsf{x = 10}$

$\huge\textsf{Therefore, your answer should be:}$

$\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x =} \frak{10}}\huge\checkmark$

On the graph of the equation 8x – 3y = 24, what is the value of the y-intercept?

ella [17]

8x - 3y = 24

y-intercept ⇒ x = 0

subtitute

8 · 0 - 3y = 24

-3y = 24 |divide both sides by (-3)

y = -8
