4x -2y = 60
4x -3y = 26
(-) (+) (-)
__________
1y = 34
y = 34

To find x
4x -2y = 60
4x -(2)(34) = 60
4x -68 = 60
4x = 60 + 68
4x = 128
x = 32

Answer:
x=32 ; y=34

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 2y = 60

4x - 3y = 26.....multiply by -1

-----------------------

4x - 2y = 60

-4x + 3y = -26 (result of multiplying by -1)

-----------------------add

y = 34

4x - 2y = 60

4x - 2(34) = 60

4x - 68 = 60

4x = 60 + 68

4x = 128

x = 128/4

x = 32

check...

4x - 3y = 26

4(32) - 3(34) = 26

128 - 102 = 26

26 = 26 (correct)

so x = 32 and y = 34.....or (32,34)

I need help on this logarithmic equation I need it solved step by step * It asks to solve it in terms of x. *

Rashid [163]

To solve the function in terms of x:

$\log _{4^x}2^a=3$

find the power of the subscripts of the log

$\begin{gathered} \log _{4^x}2^a=3 \\ \log _{2^{2x}}2^a=3 \\ \frac{a}{2x}\log _22=3 \\ \text{where }\log _22=1 \\ \frac{a}{2x}=3 \end{gathered}$

cross multiply the expression

$\begin{gathered} \frac{a}{2x}=3 \\ a=3(2x) \\ a=6x \end{gathered}$

Therefore the correct answer of a = 6x

spencer took 21$ with him to the mall. At the music store, he spent 2/3 of his money on a DVD, he spent 1/4 of what he had left

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$5.25 Dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

I know that if you divide 21 by 3 you get 7. So, 2/3 of 21 is 14. He spent 14 dollars at the music store. This means that he has 7 dollars left. From here he spend 1/4 of 7 dollars on a drink. 1/4 of 7 is $1.75. This means that he has 5.25 dollars left after he bought the drink! :)

Hope this helped! :)

A triangle contains angles mesuring 28 degrees and 37 degrees. How many degrees is the third angle?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

115°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Angles ∠A and ∠B are 28° and 37°.

We don't know:

Angle ∠C's angle

So, we do this:

Add the 180°
Solve the equation 180 - 28 - 37

Solve:

180 - 28
= 152 - 37
= 115.

Angle ∠C is 115°.
