So 2:5 means that 5/7 animals are cats and 2/7 are dogs. I believe if you divide u will get your answer. 5/7 * 7/2 = 1.25x the number of dogs

Solve for x 3^x+4=9 3 to the power of x plus 4 is equal to 9

Bingel [31]

$3^{x} + 4 = 9 \\3^{x} = 5 \\ln(3^{x}) = ln(5) \\xln(3) = ln(5) \\\frac{xln(3)}{ln(3)} = \frac{ln(5)}{ln(3)} \\x = \frac{ln(5)}{ln(3)}$

or

$3^{x + 4} = 9 \\ln(3^{x + 4}) = ln(9) \\(x + 4)ln(3) = ln(9) \\\frac{(x + 4)ln(3)}{ln(3)} = \frac{ln(9)}{ln(3)} \\x + 4 = \frac{ln(3^{2})}{ln(3)} \\x + 4 = \frac{2ln(3)}{ln(3)} \\x + 4 = 2 \\x = -2$

22) There is a 50% chance of picking a red card in a deck of cards. Equally likely.

If there is a 50% chance that something will happen, it is equally likely that it will happen.

23) There is an 80% chance of snow tomorrow. Likely or certain.

If there is an 80% chance of something happening, it means that the chances of that thing happening good and the event is likely to occur.
