Answer:

$\large\boxed{a=\dfrac{3b}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}b=1.5b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7a-2b=5a+b\qquad\text{add}\ 2b\ \text{to both sides}\\\\7a-2b+2b=5a+b+2b\\\\7a=5a+3b\qquad\text{subtract}\ 5a\ \text{from both sides}\\\\7a-5a=5a-5a+3b\\\\2a=3b\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2a}{2}=\dfrac{3b}{2}\\\\a=\dfrac{3b}{2}$

Without using your calculator, decide which of these is larger: log8 62 or log7 50. How confident are you of your answer? Explai

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

log8 62 = x1

8^x1= 62

8^2 =64 >62 so x1<2

log7 50=x2

7^x2=50

7^2=49<50 so x2>2

we have, x1<2 and 2<x2

x1<2<x2

x1<x2

log8 62<log7 50

A small garden measures 8 ft by 7 ft. A uniform border around the garden increases the total area to 110 ft 2. What is the width

Alik [6]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can answer this question by using the equation

(8+x)(7+x)=110

The x represents the width, as we do not know the area. If you simplify the equation, it becomes 56+15x+x2=110.

If you move all the terms to the left side, and rearrange it, it can become x^2+15x-54=0

This can be simplified into (x-3)(x+18)=0

This equation makes it so that x is either 3 or -18. It is not possible for a width to be -18, so the width must be 3.
