7 0

First you distribute
5(x-3)=5x-15
then you do subtraction or group like terms
5x-15+2x=41
7x-15=41
add 15 to both sides
7x=56
divide both sides by 7
x=8

Answer:

You will use 2 cups of blue paint for 4 cups of yellow paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

There is 1/3 cup of blue paint for every 2/3 cup of yellow paint

We will find unit rate in terms of yellow paint.

2/3 cups of yellow paint = 1/3 cup of blue paint

Multiplying both sides by 3/2

$\frac{2}{3}*\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{3}*\frac{3}{2}\\1\ cup\ of\ yellow\ paint = \frac{1}{2}\ cup\ of\ blue\ paint$

Now,

4 cups of yellow paint = $4*\frac{1}{2}$ cups of blue paint

4 cups of yellow paint = 2 cups of blue paint

Hence,

You will use 2 cups of blue paint for 4 cups of yellow paint.

Complete the table of values

Agata [3.3K]

Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!

You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1) The negative exponent rule says that when a base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example, $3^{-2} =
\frac{1}{3^{2} }$ .
2) Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example, $(\frac{3}{4}) ^{3} = \frac{ 3^{3} }{4^{3} }$ .
3) The zero exponent rule says that any number raised to zero is 1. For example, $3^{0} = 1$ .


Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = 4^{-x}$ . The x-values are:
1) x = 0
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter a:
$y = 4^{-x}\\
y = 4^{-0}\\
y = 4^{0}\\
y = 1$

2) x = 2
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter b:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-2}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{2}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{16}$

3) x = 4
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter c:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-4}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{4}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{256}$


Problem 2
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ . The x-values are:
1) x = 0
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter d:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\
y = (\frac{2}{3})^0\\
y = 1$

2) x = 2
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter e:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^2\\ y = \frac{2^2}{3^2}\\
y = \frac{4}{9}$

3) x = 4
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter f:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^4\\ y = \frac{2^4}{3^4}\\ y = \frac{16}{81}$

-------

Answers:
a = 1
b = $\frac{1}{16}$ 
c = $\frac{1}{256}$
d = 1
e = $\frac{4}{9}$
f = $\frac{16}{81}$
