Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the cherries eaten
The equation you use for the slope of this kind of problem is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). x1 is the first X coordinate, x2 is the second, y1 is the first y coordinate, y2 is the second.
(5-3)/(2-2)
2/0
This equation has an UNDEFINED SLOPE, as it is just a vertical line.

Step 1:
Here we have -3 in subtraction on the left side, so when we take it to the right we apply opposite operation of subtraction that is addition.


Step 2:
Next we have 4 in multiplication on left side, so dividing right side by 4,


Step 3:
taking log on both sides


Step 4:
Dividing right side by 2,
x= ln (3.75) /2 = 0.66088
Answer : x = 0.66088..
48/60 = .8
This means 80% of 60 is equal to 48.
Thus, a0% = 80%
and we can determine that a = 8.
