The answer can not be found from the given information

Step-by-step explanation:

Two different types of tea are sold in your store

  • You know 100 cups of tea were sold
  • One type sold 5 times as much as the other type

We need to find how much of each type of tea were sold

Assume that the two types are x and y

∵ x represents one type of tea

∵ y represents the other type of tea

∵ 100 cups of tea where sold

- Add x and y, then equate the sum by 100

∴ x + y = 100 ⇒ (1)

∵ x type is 5 times as much as y type

∴ x = 5y ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Substitute x in equation (1) by equation (2)

∴ 5y + y = 100

∴ 6y = 100

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ y = 16.67

<em>But you know number cups must be whole numbers</em>

The number cups can be 102 <em>OR</em> one type is 4 times as much as the other type

If the number of cups is 102, then

85 cups of one type and 17 cups of the other type were sold

If one type is 4 times as much as the other type, then

80 cups of one type and 20 cups of the other type were sold

The answer can not be found from the given information

The value of x in the equation 4^(2x+5)=8^(3x)
Roman55 [17]
4⁽²ˣ ⁺ ⁵⁾ = 8³ˣ

But 4 = 2²  and 8 = 2³

4⁽²ˣ ⁺ ⁵⁾ = 8³ˣ

2²⁽²ˣ ⁺ ⁵⁾ = (2³)³ˣ

Multiply out the powers, also since the
 
 2⁴ˣ ⁺ ¹⁰ = 2⁹ˣ

Since the bases are the same, hence the powers are also the same.

4x + 10 = 9x

4x - 9x = -10

-5x = -10

x = -10/-5

x = 2

Hope this explains it.

I need help fast please <br><br>Solve this and show steps <br><br>4.5×8-(0.4+9.6-(3.6-1.8))<br>​
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

27.8

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to do brackets first

3.6-1.8 = 1.8

Then substitute

4.5 x 8- (0.4 + 9.6- 1.8)

0.4+9.6-1.8=8.2

4.5 x 8 - 8.2 =27.8

The graph of h(x) is shown. Graph of h of x that begins in quadrant two and decreases rapidly following the vertical line which
fgiga [73]

Answer:

<u>x-intercept</u>

The point at which the curve <u>crosses the x-axis</u>, so when y = 0.

From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to cross the x-axis when x = -4, so the x-intercept is (-4, 0)

<u>y-intercept</u>

The point at which the curve <u>crosses the y-axis</u>, so when x = 0.

From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to cross the y-axis when y = -1, so the y-intercept is (0, -1)

<u>Asymptote</u>

A line which the curve gets <u>infinitely close</u> to, but <u>never touches</u>.

From inspection of the graph, the curve appears to get infinitely close to but never touches the vertical line at x = -5, so the vertical asymptote is x = -5

(Please note:  we cannot be sure that there is a horizontal asymptote at y = -2 without knowing the equation of the graph, or seeing a larger portion of the graph).
