Find the value of x in the equation x⁄ 4 + x⁄14 + x⁄17 = 71

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

33769/181

Discussion:

Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives

x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17)  = 71       (*)

Use common factor (17*14*4  = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:

1/4 =  (17*14)/ 952  = 238/952

1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952

1/17 = (14*4)/952  = 56/952

so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 =    (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 =  362/952 = 181/476

Substituting in (*) gives

x ( 181/476)  = 71                       => multiply both sides by 476/181

x = (71 * 476)/181                       => 71* 476 =33769

x = 33769/181

Thank you,

MrB

Which shows the first step in the solution to the<br> equation log₂x + log₂(x - 6) = 4?
iren [92.7K]

log was used calculate big numbers before calculators

log is a re-arranged way to show a number with an exponent

example

log₂ 16 = 4 means 2^4 = 16

logx(Z) = y means x^y=Z

log(x-6)/log(2) + log(x)/log(2) = 4

(log(x-6)+ log(x))/log(2) = 4

(log(x-6)+ log(x)) = 4log(2)

(log(x-6)x) = log(16)

x=8

A yogurt company claims that it prints a free yogurt coupon under a randomly selected 20% of its lids. A loyal customer purchase
Alona [7]

Answer:

The customer can conclude that the company's claim is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of lids that has a free yogurt coupon = 20%

The number of cups a loyal customer purchases = 85 yogurt cups

The number of cups that contained a coupon = 12 (14.1%)

The confidence interval performed = 99% confidence interval for the proportion of yogurt cups containing coupon codes

The interval obtained = (0.044, 0.238)

Therefore, the range of proportion within which the true proportion exists is 0.044 < \hat p < 0.238

The range of percentage within which the true percentage exist is therefore;

0.044 × 100 = 4.4%  < \hat p × 100 < 0.238 × 100 = 23.8%

Given that the possible true percentage of lids that has a coupon is between 4.4% and 23.8% at 99% confidence level, the customer can conclude that only 12 of his yogurt cup contained coupon by chance and that the company's claim is correct.
