Answer:

"No Solution"

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the log property shown below to simplify this:

$Log(a)=Log(b)\\Means\\a=b$

Since no "base" is given, we take base as "10" and use property to write:

$2x-7=5x+2$

Now, we solve for x:

$2x-7=5x+2\\5x-2x=-7-2\\3x=-9\\x=-3$

But we are NOT done. We have to take the value and put it into the equation to check if there is any NEGATIVE value, because we cannot take negative log.

Putting in LHS:

Log(2x - 7)

Log(2(-3) - 7)

Log(-6-7)

Log(-13)

This can't be solved. So x = -3 is not a solution. Thus, there is NO SOLUTION to the equation given.

Nancy is making lemonade for her birthday party. She made 6 batches. Each batch of lemonade uses 24 fluid ounces of lemon juice

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Us pint = 16 Us fluid ounces

It means that 8 pints of water would be

8 × 16 = 128 fluid ounces

Each batch of lemonade uses 24 fluid ounces of lemon juice and 8 pints of water. The total number of fluid ounces in each batch is

128 + 24 = 152 fluid ounces

Also,

1 fluid ounce = 0.125 Us cups

Therefore, the number of cups made is

152 × 0.125 = 19 cups

If each serving is 1 cup, then the number of servings that she made from each batch of lemonade is 19

servings. The number of batches made is 6. Therefore, the number of servings made altogether is

6 × 19 = 114

If her brother came and spilled half of it on the floor, then the number of servings that she have left after that for her party is

114/2 = 57 servings

84. Use properties of exponents to rewrite each expression with only positive, rational exponents. Then find the numerical value

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

a) 1/27

b) 16

c) 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

a) $x^{-3/2}$

One of the properties of the exponents tells us that when we have a negative exponent we can express it in terms of its positive exponent by turning it into the denominator (and changing its sign), so we would have:

$x^{-3/2}=\frac{1}{x^{3/2} }$
