Answer:

a = 24*1/3

a =8  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are using proportions to solve this problem by putting students over adults

students         3                   24

--------------- = ---------------  = -------------

adults                 1                   a

where a is the unknown number of adults

Using cross products

3a=24*1

Divide by 3

a = 24*1/3

a = 24/3

a = 8

Let C be between D and E. Solve for x <br> DC = 5x + 8<br> CE = 3x + 5<br> DE = 61
morpeh [17]
DE/2 = 30.5
CE=30.5
DC=30.5

3x + 5 = 30.5
3x = 30.5 - 5
3x = 25.5
25.5/3 =8.5
x=8.5

A single tennis court is 75% the width of a doubles tennis court. The singles court is 27 feet wide. How wide is the doubles cou
grandymaker [24]
X = 75% * y

Where 'x' is the single tennis court width, and 'y' is the doubles tennis court width.

Plug in what we know:

27 = 75% * y

75% = 0.75

27 = 0.75 * y

27 = 0.75y

Divide 0.75 to both sides:

y = 36

So the doubles court is 36 feet wide.

F(x) = 16ˣ

A. g(x) = 8(2ˣ)
    g(x) = (2³)(2ˣ)
    g(x) = 2ˣ⁺³
The answer is not A.

B. g(x) = 4096(16ˣ⁻³)
    g(x) = (16³)(16ˣ⁻³)
    g(x) = 16ˣ
The answer is B.

C. g(x) = 4(4ˣ)
     g(x) = 4ˣ⁺¹
The answer is not C.

D. g(x) = 0.0625(16ˣ⁺¹)
     g(x) = (16⁻¹)(16ˣ⁺¹)
     g(x) = 16ˣ
The answer is D.

E. g(x) = 32(16ˣ⁻²)
    g(x) = (2⁵)(2⁴ˣ⁻⁸)
    g(x) = 2(⁴ˣ⁻³)
The answer is not E.

F. g(x) = 2(8ˣ)
    g(x) = 2(2³ˣ)
    g(x) = 2³ˣ⁺¹
The answer is not F.

The answer is B and D.
