Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first, you have to isolate x on one side of the equation.

2x-71+71=12+71 (First, add 71 from both sides.)

12+71 (Solve.)

12+71=83

2x=83

2x/2=83/2 (Then, divide by 2 from both sides.)

83/2 (Solve.)

83/2=41.5

x=83/2=41.5

So, the correct answer is x=83/2=41.5.

What is the inverse of f(x)=2^x

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=2^x$

$y = {2}^{x}$

$x = {2}^{y}$

${2}^{y} = x$

$ln( {2}^{y} )=ln(x)$

$yln(2)=ln(x)$

<h3> $\frac{yln(2)}{ln(2)} = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3> $y = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3> ${f}^{ - 1} (x) = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3>Hope it is helpful...</h3>

Answer:

8 turtles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of Liam's sea turtle sculpture weighs 3\8 pounds and he ships them in a wooden box that weighs 2 pounds.

The weight of the box filled with the sea turtles is 5 pounds.

This means that the weight of the sea turtles in the wooden box is:

5 - 2 = 3 pounds

To find the number of sea turtles in the box, we simply divide the total weight of the turtles in the box by the weight of each turtle. That is:

$\frac{3}{\frac{3}{8} }$ = 8 turtles

There are 8 turtles in the box.
