Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
3x + 2(4 + 6x) = 113
3x + (4 * 2 + 6x * 2) = 113
3x + (8 + 12x) = 113
Reorder the terms:
8 + 3x + 12x = 113
Combine like terms: 3x + 12x = 15x
8 + 15x = 113
Solving
8 + 15x = 113
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + 15x = 113 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + 15x = 113 + -8
15x = 113 + -8
Combine like terms: 113 + -8 = 105
15x = 105
Divide each side by '15'.
x = 7
Simplifying
x = 7
Answer: Second Option

Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential growth functions have the following form:

Where a is the main coefficient, b is the base and x is the exponent.
For this type of functions the base b must always be greater than 1. Otherwise it would be an exponential decay function
Among the options given, the only function whose base is greater than 1 is the second option:

The amount of mosaic tiles covering the box is the surface area, which is 157 in.
1.
d = rt
13 = r*3
r = 13/3
2.
v = r + at
a = (v-r)/t
