Shley solved the exponential equation 3x+1 = 15 and her work is shown below. what is the first step she did incorrectly? step 1:

log 3x+1 = log15 step 2: (x + 1)log 3 = log15 step 3: x + 1 = log 15 over log 3 step 4: x+1 = 2.708050 over 1.098612 step 5: x + 1 = 1.418858 step 6: x = 0.418858

A=1/2h (b+c) solve for b
Illusion [34]
A=1/2h(b+c)
times both sides by 2/1
2A=h(b+c)
divide both sides by h
\frac{2A}{h}=b+c
minus c from both sides
\frac{2A}{h}-c=b

Fwd:The hardware store is having a 15% off sale on lawn mowers this weekend. If x is the original price of a lawn mower, what wi
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

<h3>(x - 0.15x) and x(1.00 - 0.15)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price of a lawn mower,

If the hardware store is having a 15% off sale on lawn mowers this weekend, the amount discounted is expressed as;

= 15 % of x

= 0.15 of x

= 0.15x

Final sales price = Original price - discounted price;

Final sales price = x - 0.15x

Factor out x;

x - 0.15x = x(1 - 0.15)

Hence the correct equations are (x - 0.15x)  and x(1.00 - 0.15)

What is an equatiom for the line with slope 2/3 and y-intercept 9​
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

y = (2/3)x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a straight line is y = mx + b. You are trying to finish the equation.

Note that:

m = slope = 2/3

b = y-intercept = 9

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

y = mx + b --> y = (2/3)x + 9

y = (2/3)x + 9 is your equation.

Find an for the arithmetic series with s16 = -288 And a1 =-21
Maru [420]
If d is the common difference between terms in the sequence \{a_n\}, then

a_1=-21
a_2=a_1+d=-21+d
a_3=a_2+d=-21+2d
...
a_n=a_{n-1}+d=\cdots=-21+(n-1)d

You're told that S_{16}=-288 (the sum of the first 16 terms in the sequence, presumably). Well, we know that

S_{16}=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{16}a_n=\sum_{n=1}^{16}(-21+(n-1)d)
S_{16}=\displaystyle(-21-d)\sum_{n=1}^{16}1+d\sum_{n=1}^{16}n

Recall that

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^kn=\frac{k(k+1)}2

so that we have

-288=16(-21-d)+\dfrac{16(16+1)}2d\implies d=\dfrac25

So we get

\begin{cases}a_1=-21\\\\a_n=-21+\dfrac25(n-1)\end{cases}

What is the value of x?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

x = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. To solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). Out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

\frac{little}{big} =\frac{little}{big}.

\frac{42}{42 + 63}=\frac{50}{50+x}

\frac{42}{105}=\frac{50}{50+x}

To solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

42(50+x)=105(50)\\2100 + 42x =5250 \\ 42x = 3150 \\\frac{42x}{42}=\frac{3150}{42} \\x =75
