The value of x is 5. Angle one and four are vertical. You can do this by writing 7x = 3x + 20. Isolate the variable by moving 3x to the other side. If you do this, 3x becomes negative, and you end up with 7x-3x = 20 --> 4x = 20.
x=5.
For this case we have an equation of the form:
y = A * (b) ^ t
Where,
A: initial amount
b: decrease factor
t: time
Substituting values:
y = 30 * (b) ^ t
To calculate t we use a point in the table.
We have:
(t, y) = (1, 28.5)
Substituting:
28.5 = 30 * (b) ^ 1
b = 28.5 / 30
b = 0.95
Answer:
a. Decay factor is 0.95
Answer:
the
• the population of the first germ is represented by the function a(x) = (1. 3)+9
If Bob can paint the fence in 4 hours, then in 1 hour he gets 1/4 of the fence painted. If Sarah can paint the fence in 2.5 hours, then she gets 2/5 of the fence painted in one hour (1/2.5 = 2/5). We add those amounts together and set them equal to 1/x, x being the the total time it will take them to paint the whole fence. 1/4 + 2/5 = 1/x. Find a common denominator first, then add the left side together. 5/20 + 8/20 = 1/x. 13/20 = 1/x. Cross-multiply to get 13x = 20 and x = 1.54 hours, just a bit over an hour and a half.
