Hi!
1/4 of 20 pencils are 5 pencils.
Since he gave away 4 pencils,
Total = 5 + 4 = 9
Mr. Simms use and give away total 9 pencils.
Answer:
y = 4 or y = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2log4y - log4 (5y - 12) = 1/2
2log_4(y) - log_4(5y-12) = log_4(2) apply law of logarithms
log_4(y^2) + log_4(1/(5y-12)) = log_4(/2) apply law of logarithms
log_4(y^2/(5y-12)) = log_4(2) remove logarithm
y^2/(5y-12) = 2 cross multiply
y^2 = 10y-24 rearrange and factor
y^2 - 10y + 24 = 0
(y-4)(y-6) = 0
y= 4 or y=6
5<em>x</em>² - 7<em>x</em> + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em>) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 7/5 <em>x</em> + 49/100 - 49/100) + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em>² - 2 • 7/10 <em>x</em> + (7/10)²) - 49/20 + 2 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² - 9/20 = 0
5(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/20
(<em>x</em> - 7/10)² = 9/100
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± √(9/100)
<em>x</em> - 7/10 = ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 7/10 ± 3/10
<em>x</em> = 10/10 = 1 or <em>x</em> = 4/10 = 2/5
Let's say that Stan invested $1500 at 6%. To find how much he invested at 4.5% would be 5000 - 1500 = $3500. Now we have a pattern. Now let's say stan invested x dollars. Even though it is unknown, we can set up how much is left. So subtract x from 5000 or 5000 - x which is C
Answer:
46/3
Step-by-step explanation:
|2a| - b/3
Plug in the values and evaluate.
|2(7)| - (-4)/3
|14| + 4/3
Apply | a | = a
14 + 4/3
42/3 + 4/3
= 46/3
