1/2 and 1/3 are similar because 3/6 and 2/6 are similar. They are so close but not the same.
Answer:
The number is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
You can write an equation to represent this. Let x represent the unknown number.
3x - 18 = 2x
Move 2x to the left side. Remember, "change the side, change the sign." Add 0 as a placeholder to the right of the equals sign.
3x - 2x - 18 = 0
Simplify like terms.
x - 18 = 0
Move -18 to the right of the equals sign.
x = 18
Now that we know x = 18, we can substitute it into the problem.
"Eighteen less than three times 18 is two times 18."
18 x 3 = 54
54 - 18 = 36
36 is, in fact, two times 18. We can check this by dividing 36 by 2.
36 ÷ 2 = 18
Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the given points into the function and solve for a and b
Using (2, 12)
12 = ab² → (1)
Using (5, 96)
96 = a
→ (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
= 
, that is
b³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )
b = ![\sqrt[3]{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B8%7D)
= 2
Substitute b = 2 into (1) and solve for a
12 = a2² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )
3 = a
Thus
y = 3 ← is the exponential function
