Answer:

x= 6 1/2 or 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4^x-5 =8

2^2(x-5) =2^3

since the base is equal, the powers are equal

2(x-5) = 3

2x - 10 = 3

2x = 3 + 10

2x = 13

2x/2 = 13/2

x = 6 1/2 or 6.5

Answer:

6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4^(x-5) = 8

2^[2(x-5)] = 2³

Equating powers:

2(x-5) = 3

x-5 = 3/2

x = 13/2 or 6½

Which of the sequences is an arithmetic sequence?

Bogdan [553]

<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>

This is because we're adding -6 to each term, i.e. subtracting 6 from each term, to get the next term

-2+(-6) = -8
-8+(-6) = -14
-14+(-6) = -20
-20+(-6) = -26

and so on. The gap between adjacent terms is the same width. We say that the common difference is d = -6.

A theater can seat 170 people. The number of rows is 7 less than the number of seats in each row. How many rows of seats are the

maks197457 [2]

Answer:number of rows =10
number of places in row = 17

Step-by-step explanation:
number of rows =N
number of places in row = N+7
N(N+7)=170
N^2+7n-170=0
(N+17)(N-10)=0
N1=-17
N2=10
We can`t take negative value for quantity of smth so we throw N1 away
From that number of rows =10
number of places in row = 10+7=17

What is the center of the circle that has a diameter whose endpoints are (9, 7) and (-3, -5)?

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: OPTION B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the endpoints of the diameter of the circle, we need to find the midpoint, which is the center of the circle.

The following formula is used to calculate the Midpoint:

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$
