Answer:

After 5.6 weeks they will have the same number of comic books.

Number of books = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom currently has 5 comic books in his collection and has subscribed to receive 5 new comic books each month.

Again, his uncle has 145 comic books but sends five to each of his 3 nieces each month.

As Tom is one of his nieces so, in every week the collection of tom gets increases by (5 + 5) = 10

Therefore, after w weeks tom's collection will have C₁ = 5 + 10w ......... (1)

And Tom's uncle will have after w weeks C₂ = 145 - 15w ............ (2) comic books in his collection.

If C₁ = C₂ , then  

5 + 10w = 145 - 15w

⇒ 25w = 140

⇒ w = 5.6 weeks.  

Therefore, after 5.6 weeks they will have the same number of comic books. (Answer)

And the number of books it will be  

C = 5 + 10 × 5.6 = 61. (Answer)

Please solve this 6-3 log2n=0
lutik1710 [3]
If that is 6-3(log2n)=0 then how you would go about solving it is by looking at log2n like x. In this case, for 6-3x=0,  x would have to  =2. So log2n has to =2. If log2n=2 and we assume that the base is 10 (because if there is no written base on a log then it is 10) then we need to rewrite the log to exponential form. Rewritten it's 10^2=2n. 100=2n, divide both sides by 2 and you get n=50.

Unless this is a trick question, I think 7 baskets. If you have 7 baskets then you can put 5 peaches in each basket. Hope this is right.

2|3x + 5| = -10 how break it down
iren2701 [21]
2|3x + 5| = -10 . Divide both sides by 2:

|3x + 5| = -5 ===>3x+5=-5 & -3x-5=-5 In both cases x=0
