Answer:-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
16^x=1/4
(4^2)^x=4^(-1)
4^2x=4^(-1)
Base cancelled each other since they are the same
2x=-1
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2=-1/2
x=-1/2
For both of the contests, the variable is the number of competitors which we can set as x.
Consequently, the equation should be 5.50x+34.60=4.25x+64.60
5.50x=4.25x+30
1.25x=30
x=24
The fee of the contests is the same when there are 24 competitors
For the answer to the question above asking <span>how long will it take a mark to recover his investment assuming he has a salary of $32,000 upon graduating?
