City x has a population of 3x10 to the fifth power. City y has a population of 6x10 to the sixth power. Which statement is true?

X/3-15=-2 solve for x

Otrada [13]

Answer:

x = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

x/3-(15)=0

Step 1 : Simplify

$\frac{x}{3}$

Equation at the end of step 1 :

$\frac{x}{3}$ - 15 = 0

Step 2 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

$15=\frac{15}{1} =\frac{15*3}{3}$

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

$\frac{x-(15*3)}{3} =\frac{x-45}{3}$

Equation at the end of step 2 :

$\frac{x-45}{3} =0$

Step 3 :

When a fraction equals zero :

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

$\frac{x-45}{3}*3=0*3$

Now, on the left hand side, the 3 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

x-45 = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

Solve : x-45 = 0

Add 45 to both sides of the equation :

x = 45

One solution was found :

x = 45

Last one anyone that can help me out?

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Part a. t = 7.29 years.

Part b. t = 27.73 years.

Part c. p = $3894.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for continuous compounding is: A = p*e^(rt); where A is the amount after compounding, p is the principle, e is the mathematical constant (2.718281), r is the rate of interest, and t is the time in years.

Part a. It is given that p = $2000, r = 2.5%, and A = $2400. In this part, t is unknown. Therefore: 2400 = 2000*e^(2.5t). This implies 1.2 = e^(0.025t). Taking natural logarithm on both sides yields ln(1.2) = ln(e^(0.025t)). A logarithmic property is that the power of the logarithmic expression can be shifted on the left side of the whole expression, thus multiplying it with the expression. Therefore, ln(1.2) = 0.025t*ln(e). Since ln(e) = 1, and making t the subject gives t = ln(1.2)/0.025. This means that t = 7.29 years (rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places)!!!

Part b. It is given that p = $2000, r = 2.5%, and A = $4000. In this part, t is unknown. Therefore: 4000 = 2000*e^(2.5t). This implies 2 = e^(0.025t). Taking natural logarithm on both sides yields ln(2) = ln(e^(0.025t)). A logarithmic property is that the power of the logarithmic expression can be shifted on the left side of the whole expression, thus multiplying it with the expression. Therefore, ln(2) = 0.025t*ln(e). Since ln(e) = 1, and making t the subject gives t = ln(2)/0.025. This means that t = 27.73 years (rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places)!!!

Part c. It is given that A = $5000, r = 2.5%, and t = 10 years. In this part, p is unknown. Therefore 5000 = p*e^(0.025*10). This implies 5000 = p*e^(0.25). Making p the subject gives p = 5000/e^0.25. This means that p = $3894.00(rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places)!!!

Two-thirds of the T-shirts in a T-shirt shop are blue. Three-fifths of those T-shirts are on sale. One-half of the blue T

katrin2010 [14]

Let, total number of T-shirts are x.

Number of blue T-shirts = (2/3)x = 2x/3 .

Number of blue shirts on sale = (3/5)(2x/3) = 2x/5 .

Number of medium sized blue shirts on sale = (1/5)(2x/5) = 2x/25 .

Fraction of the shop's T-shirts are blue T-shirts that are on sale and are size medium = $\dfrac{2x/25}{x}$ = 2/25 . ( Number of medium sized blue shirts on sale divided by total number of T-shirts )

Hence, this is the required solution.

An elephant can run one over four mile in 36 seconds. Which of the following correctly shows this rate as miles per hour?

Ainat [17]

Answer:

C. One-fourth mile over thirty-six seconds = 25 miles per hour.

We have been given that an elephant can run one over four of a mile in 36 seconds.

To find elephant's rate in miles per hour, we will convert our given time in hours as shown below:

Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
