Density = Mass / Volume
(0.788) = (18.754) / V
0.788V = 18.754
V = (18.754) / (0.788)
V = 23.799
Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...
- all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
- y is a factor of every exponent
The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.

To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.
(3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)
-5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3
14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y
y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution
______
The rules of exponents we used are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
1/a^b = a^-b
Answer:
15 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
let the current weight of the puppy be X, the initial weight of the puppy is 4lb or 
, (6 lb less 2/3 X) .
#We equate the current weight to the initial weight to determine X:
Hence, the current weight of the puppy is 15 lb
(x+4) + ((x-15)+4)= 41
2x-7= 41
2x= 48
x= 24
