Let n represent the number.
<span>.. (3/5)n - 1 = 23 ... three-fifths of a number decreased by one is twenty-three. </span>
<span>Please note that the same English description might be interpreted as </span>
<span>.. (3/5)(n-1) = 23. </span>
<span>We'll use the first interpretation, as it results in the number being an integer. </span>
<span>.. (3/5)n = 24 ... add 1 </span>
<span>.. n = (5/3)*24 ... multiply by 5/3 </span>
<span>.. n = 40 ... carry out the multiplication </span>
<span>The number is 40.</span>
Answer: 4.25
Step-by-step explanation:
2(d-3) + 22d= 120-24
2d - 6 + 22d= 96
2d +22d= 96+6
24d= 102
d= 102/24
d= 4.25
Answer:
Choice B. log 4^x = log 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve 4^x=17
x is in the exponent... so the only operation to bring the x down is the Logarithm
log 4^x = log 17 take log of both sides
then x* log 4 = log 17
and then x = (log 17)/(log 4)
The answer is .5 :) because 3 is half of 6
