Let the length of the first piece be x inches. Then:-

x + 2x + 4x + 3 = 38

7x = 38 - 3

x = 35/7  = 5 inches

Answer: the 3 pieces have lengths  5, 10 and 23 inches.

What is 1 2/5x =7 because i really need help<br><br>​
astraxan [27]

(1 2/5)(x)=7

Simplify both sides of the equation.

7/5x=7

Multiply both sides by 5/7.

(5/7)*(7/5x)=(5/7)*(7)

x=5

What is the square root of 28x to the third power y to the third power
Colt1911 [192]

Hello!

√28x³y³ is equal to 2xy\sqrt{7xy}

We can find this solution through the following steps.

  1. Rewriting the equation by factoring 4 from 28, factoring out x², and factoring out y²
  2. We then can rewrite 4 as 2² in our equation, leaving us with \sqrt{2^{2}*7*(x^{2}x)*y^{2}y }
  3. We will then move our x and 7, and rewrite 2^{2}*x^{2}* y^{2} as (2xy)^{2}
  4. We can then pull the terms from the radical leaving us with 2xy\sqrt{7xy}

Find the complete factored form of the polynomial -24a6b4-40a3
Naddik [55]

For this case we have the following polynomial:

-24a ^ 6b ^ 4-40a ^ 3

We must find the greatest common factor of the terms of the polynomial.

The GCF of the coefficients is given by:

24 = 3 * 8\\40 = 5 * 8

Then we look for the GFC of the variables:

We have then:

a ^ 6 = a ^ 3a ^ 3\\a ^ 3 = a ^ 3

Finally rewriting we have: -24a ^ 6b ^ 4-40a ^ 3 = -8a ^ 3 (3a ^ 3b ^ 4 + 5)

Answer:

the complete factored form of the polynomial is:

-8a ^ 3 (3a ^ 3b ^ 4 + 5)

Evaluate each log without a calculator
Mrac [35]

QUESTION 1

The given logarithmic expression is

\log_4(\frac{1}{16})

We rewrite \frac{1}{16} in the index form to base 4.

This implies that;

\log_4(\frac{1}{16})=\log_4(4^{-2})

We now apply the power rule: \log_a(m^n)=n\log_a(m^n).

\log_4(\frac{1}{16})=-2\log_4(4)

Recall that logarithm of the base is 1.

\log_4(\frac{1}{16})=-2(1)

\log_4(\frac{1}{16})=-2

QUESTION 2

The given logarithm is;

\log_2(\sqrt[5]{32})

\log_2(\sqrt[5]{2^5})

This is the same as;

\log_2(2^{5\times \frac{1}{5}})

\log_2(2^{1})

\log_2(2)=1

When negative five is subtracted from a number the result is 10. Find the number.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Option C, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Make an expression</u>

Negative five is subtracted from a number the result is 10

n - (-5) = 10

<u>Step 2:  Combine</u>

n - (-5) = 10

n + 5 = 10

<u>Step 2:  Subtract 5 from both sides</u>

b + 5 - 5 = 10 - 5

n = 5

Answer:  Option C, 5
