Answer:

160 lbs = 72.57kg

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved as a rule of three problem.

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too.

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease.

Unit conversion problems, like this one, is an example of a direct relationship between measures.

Each lb has 0.45kg. How many kg are there in 160lbs. So:

1lb - 0.45kg

160 lbs - xkg

$x = 0.45*160$

$x = 72.57$ kg

160 lbs = 72.57kg

Answer:

log9(5x^2 + 10) - log9(10) = 1

<=> log9((5x^2 + 10)/10) = log9(9)

<=> (5x^2 + 10)/10 = 9

<=> 5x^2 + 10 = 90

<=> 5x^2 = 80

<=> x^2 = 16

<=> x = +/- (4)

20.

log5(2x^2 + 4) + log5(3) = 2

<=> log5((2x^2 + 4) x 3) = log3(9)

<=> 6x^2 + 12 = 9

<=> 6x^2 = -3

=> No real x satisfies. ( x^2 always larger or equal to 0)

21.

log6(8) + log6(7 - 2x^2) = 2

<=> log6(8 x (7 - 2x^2)) = log6(36)

<=> 56 - 16x^2 = 36

<=> 16x^2 = 20

<=> x^2 = 5/4

<=> x = +/- sqrt(5/4)

Hope this helps!

What are the x and y-intercepts of the line?

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-intercept, plug in x=0 in the original equation. (You want to find what y is when x=0)

2x + 3y = -12

2(0) + 3y = -12 (Plug in x=0)

3y = -12 (2*0=0, so you can ignore that part)

y = -4 (Divide both sides by 3)

This narrows down our choices to either A or B.

To find the x-intercept, plug in y=0 into the original equation. (You want to find what x is when y=0)

2x + 3y = -12

2x + 3(0) = -12 (Plug in y=0)

2x = -12 (3*0=0, so you can ignore that part)

x = -6 (Divide both sides by 2)

If our x intercept is -6 and our y intercept is -4, that makes our answer B.
