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

Answer:

$\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow NO\quad SOLUTIONS}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>TO SOLVE:</u></h3>

Isolate by the x on one side of the equation.

<h3><u>SOLUTIONS:</u></h3>

First, subtract 3x from both sides.

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \mathsf{3x+11-3x=3x-11-3x}}$

Solve.

$\displaystyle \mathsf{11=-11}$

Sides are NOT equal.

$\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow THERE \quad ARE \quad NO \quad SOLUTIONS}}}$

Therefore, there are no solutions.

Every evening Jenna empties her pockets

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dime = 10

1 quarter=25

x=number of coins - dimes

y= number of coins - quarters

x (10)+y(25)=10.25

x+y=50

x= 50-y

x(10)+y(25)=1025

(50-y)(10)+25y =1025

500-10y+25y=1025

500+15y=1025

15y= 1025 - 500

15y=525

y=525/15

y=35

x= 50-35=15
