Let the weight of the full Volume of nails in the box be W.
Let the weight of the box be B.

2/3 W  + B =  130 ........i          From the first statement.
3/8 W  + B =      74 ......ii         From the second statement.

Equation (i)  Minus (ii)

2/3 W  - 3/8 W + B  - B =  130 - 74
(16W  - 9W) / 24                 = 56

7W / 24  =  56.
W        =  56 * 24 / 7
W        =    192  Pounds.

Substituting V = 64 in equation (i)
2/3 W  + B =  130
2/3 * 192  + B =  130
2 * 64  + B =  130
128  + B =  130
B =  130 -128 = 2.

Therefore, weight of box, B = 2 pounds.

What are the potential solutions of In(x^2-25)=0?
Maslowich

Answer:

x =\pm \sqrt{26}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • ln ( x² - 25 ) = 0

And we need to find the potential solutions of it. The given equation is the logarithm of x² - 25 to the base e . e is Euler's Number here. So it can be written as ,

<u>Equation</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\implies log_e {(x^2-25)}= 0

<u>In </u><u>general</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • If we have a logarithmic equation as ,

\implies log_a b = c

Then this can be written as ,

\implies a^c = b

In a similar way we can write the given equation as ,

\implies e^0 = x^2 - 25

  • Now also we know that a^0 = 1 Therefore , the equation becomes ,

\implies 1 = x^2 - 25 \\\\\implies x^2 = 25 + 1 \\\\\implies x^2 = 26 \\\\\implies x =\sqrt{26} \\\\\implies x = \pm \sqrt{ 26}

<u>Hence</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>Solution</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>the</u><u> given</u><u> equation</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>±</u><u>√</u><u>2</u><u>6</u><u>.</u>
