You add 5 to both sides, cancelling it out on the left and making the 8 a 13. Now you have 6x=5x+13

Now you subtract 5x from both sides and that leaves you with x=13

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The side length of of the base of the tank is 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Cost of the tank and filter system = $280

Perimeter of tank base = 60 inches

The perimeter of tank is in the shape of square.

We have to find the side length of the base of the tank.

Perimeter of tank base = Perimeter of square =

$P = 4a\\\text{where a is the side of square}\\60 = 4a\\\Rightarrow a = 15\text{ inches}$

Thus, the side length of of the base of the tank is 15 inches.

Write the expressions as an equivalent power with a negative exponent. 1/49 and 27/125

hoa [83]

$n^{-x}=\frac1{n^x}$

$\textcircled1\ \frac1{49}=\frac1{7^2}=\boxed{7^{-2}}$

$\textcircled2\ \frac{27}{125}=\frac{3^3}{5^3}=(\frac35)^3=\frac1{(\frac{5}{3})^3}=\boxed{\left(\frac53\right)^{-3}}$

Pedro puts $400.00 into an account to use for school expenses. The account earns 4% interest, compounded annually. How much will

Nastasia [14]

After 5 years the amount in the account will be $ 487.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Compound Interest, A = $P ( 1 + \frac{r}{n})^ {nt}$

Where A denotes the investment's future value

P is the Principal amount = $ 400.00

r is the rate of interest annually in decimals = 0.04

n is the no. of times the interest is compounded per unit time, t = 1

t - the number of years or days or months the amount is invested = 5 years

Now we have to plug in those values in the above formula as,

A = $400 ( 1 + \frac{0.04}{1})^ {1\times 5}$

= 400(1+ 0.04)⁵

= 400(1.04)⁵

= 486.66 ≈ $ 487
