Three-fourths of a number increased by one-half

= 3/4 x + 1/2

So three-fourths of a number increased by one-half is equal to fourteen:

3/4 x + 1/2 = 14

Multiply both sides by 4

3x + 2 = 56

Subtract 2 from both sides

3x = 54

Divide both sides by 3

x = 18

Answer: The number is 18

First, you divide 4 by 2 before you subtract them by 5 using BODMAS, or BIDMAS.

4 ÷ 2 = 2

5 - 2 = 3

Solve for x..........10 points*

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf x = 12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 34 = 130 <u>(Vertical Angles are Equal)</u>

Subtract 34 to both sides

8x = 130 - 34

8x = 96

Divide both sides by 8

x = 96 / 8

x = 12

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!

Answer:

16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

160+50x=1000

Solve for the x and you'll get 16.8. Now, because you can't have a fraction of a box, and you can't go over the limit, the answer is 16 boxes.

(How to solve for x:

Get x by itself by subtracting 160 to both sides.

50x=1000-160

50x=840

Divide both sides by 50.

x=16.8)

Answer:

$1.\:2^x=64, x=\boxed{6},\\2.\:x=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3,x=\boxed{\frac{8}{125}}\\3.\:3\cdot (3^4)=3^x, x=\boxed{5}\\4.\:\frac{16}{25}=x^2,x=\boxed{\frac{4}{5}},$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.\\\\2^x=64,\\\log 2^x=\log64,\\x\log 2=\log 64,\\x=\frac{\log 64}{\log 2}=\boxed{6}$

$2.\\x=\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^3=\frac{2^3}{5^3}=\boxed{\frac{8}{125}}$

3. This problem incorporates an exponent property.

Exponent property used: $a^b\cdot a^c=a^{(b+c)}$ , yielding an answer of $\boxed{5}$

$4.\\\\\frac{16}{25}=x^2,\\x=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{25}}=\boxed{\frac{4}{5}}$
