Answer: Diego buys about 3 pounds of blueberries, b

Step-by-step explanation: Lets write an equation to solve for b, how many pounds of blueberries he bought.

4.99b=14.95

Solve:

4.99b divided by 4.99 = 14.95 divided by 4.99

b = 3

4, Find a number x such that x = 1 mod 4, x 2 mod 7, and x 5 mod 9.
olchik [2.2K]

4, 7 and 9 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem.

Start with

x=7\cdot9+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv63\equiv64-1\equiv-1\equiv3\pmod4

We have 3^2\equiv9\equiv1\pmod4, so we can multiply the first term by 3 to guarantee that we end up with 1 mod 4.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 7, the first and last terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv72\equiv2\pmod7

which is what we want, so no adjustments needed here.

x=7\cdot9\cdot3+4\cdot2\cdot9+4\cdot7\cdot5

Taken mod 9, the first two terms vanish and we're left with

x\equiv140\equiv5\pmod9

so we don't need to make any adjustments here, and we end up with x=401.

By the Chinese remainder theorem, we find that any x such that

x\equiv401\pmod{4\cdot7\cdot9}\implies x\equiv149\pmod{252}

is a solution to this system, i.e. x=149+252n for any integer n, the smallest and positive of which is 149.

What is the exact solution to the equation 4^5x=3^(x-2)<br> list the steps to get the answer
scoray [572]

Answer: x = -0.377

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

4^(5*x) = 3^(x - 2)

Now we can use the fact that:

Ln(A^x) = x*Ln(A)

Then we can apply Ln(.) to both sides of the equation to get:

Ln(4^(5*x)) = Ln(3^(x - 2))

(5*x)*Ln(4) = (x - 2)*Ln(3)

(5*x)*Ln(4) - x*Ln(3) = -2*Ln(3)

x*(5*Ln(4) - Ln(3)) = -2*Ln(3)

x = -2*Ln(3)/(5*Ln(4) - Ln(3)) = -0.377

What type of solution would you get for 0=0<br> A. one solution<br> B. no solution<br> C.infinite
Otrada [13]
Answer: C. Infinite
Explanation: (To explain this answer, I'll use 1 = 1) When you get 1 = 1 after doing an equation, this mean the answer is "all real numbers", which is the same term as "infinite" because it will always be true. Therefore, 0 = 0 will always be a true statement.

A canadian goose and a Great blue heron took off in opposite directions. The goose flew at 20 mph, and the heron flew at 10 mph.
iris [78.8K]

The Canadian goose flew for 4 hours and the Great blue heron flew for 10 hours

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let a represent the time flown by the goose and b represent the time flown by the heron. Hence:

a + b = 14    (1)

Also:

20a + 10b = 180   (2)

From equation 1 and 2:

a = 4, b = 10

The Canadian goose flew for 4 hours and the Great blue heron flew for 10 hours
