The property states that you can divide both sides of an equation by the same number (of course it can't be zero). So, since we want to solve for x, but the equation involves 5x, if we divided both sides by 5 we would isolate x. In fact, the equation becomes


\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{40}{5} \iff x=8


And we have solved the equation, because we found the correct value of x.

the answer is x= 8, because 5 divided by 40 is 8

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Seth watched TV for 6 3/4 hours last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours he watched TV last week.

(2/3)x = 4 1/2 hrs.  Solve for x by mult. both sides by (3/2):

(3/2)(2/3)x = (3/2)(9/2)

Then:     x = 27/4 hours, or 6 3/4 hours.

Seth watched TV for 6 3/4 hours last week.

{d(1) = 2.7 d(n) = d(n-1) x (6.1) find the explicit formula for d(n) <br><br> d(n) = ?
laiz [17]

The explicit formula of the function d(n) is d(n) = 2.7 * 6.1^{n-1

<h3>How to determine the explicit formula?</h3>

The function is given as:

d(1) = 2.7

d(n) = d(n-1) x (6.1)

The above means that the function is an exponential function, and it has the following parameters:

First term, d(1) = 2.7

Common ratio, r = 6.1

The explicit formula of an exponential function is:

d(n) = d(1) * r^{n-1

So, we have

d(n) = 2.7 * 6.1^{n-1

Hence, the explicit formula of d(n) is d(n) = 2.7 * 6.1^{n-1

Answer:

Juan invested $ 11,800 in Fund A and $ 7,200 in Fund B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Juan invested $ 19000 in two mutual funds, and Fund A earned 7% profit during the first year, while Fund B earned 3% interest, if he received a total of $ 1042 profit, to determine how much she had invested in each mutual fund the following calculation must be performed:

19000 x 0.07 + 0 x 0.03 = 1330

15000 x 0.07 + 4000 x 0.03 = 1170

11000 x 0.07 + 8000 x 0.03 = 1010

11500 x 0.07 + 7500 x 0.03 = 1030

11800 x 0.07 + 7200 x 0.03 = 1042

Therefore, Juan invested $ 11,800 in Fund A and $ 7,200 in Fund B.
