Answer:

Randall picks up 68 pounds

Seth picks up 40 pounds

Joanna picks up 52 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us make an equation in x to find it

∵ Randall's bag weighs  3x - 7 pounds

∵ Joanna's bag weighs  2x + 2 pounds

∵ Seth's bag weighs 2x - 10 pounds

∵ Randall's and Joanna's bags weigh 3 times as much as  Seth's bag

- That means add Randall's bag and Joanna's bag and equate

    the sum by 3 times Seth's bag

∵ Randall's bag + Joanna's bag = 3(Seth's bag)

∴ (3x - 7) + (2x + 2) = 3(2x - 10)

- Simplify the two sides

∴ (3x + 2x) + (-7 + 2) = 3(2x) - 3(10)

∴ 5x + (-5) = 6x - 30

∴ 5x - 5 = 6x - 30

- Add 5 to both sides

∴ 5x = 6x - 25

- Subtract 6x from both sides

∴ -x = -25

- Divide both sides by -1

∴ x = 25

Substitute x by 25 in the weight of each bag

∵ Randall's bag weighs = 3(25) - 7 = 75 - 7

∴ Randall's bag weighs = 68 pounds

∵ Seth's bag weighs = 2(25) - 10 = 50 - 10

∴ Seth's bag weighs = 40 pounds

∵ Joanna's bag weighs  = 2(25) + 2 = 50 + 2

∴ Joanna's bag weighs  = 52 pounds

Nostrana [21]

Week 1 : 1 customer tells 3 friends

Week 2: 3 new customers tell 9 friends

Week 3: 9 new customers tell 27 friends

If w represents number of weeks, then (C) represents the model appropriately. Let's see how:

Putting w = 1 , 2 and 3 in each of the options

(A) 3w: 3 for week 1, 6 for week 2, 9 for week 3 ⇒ INCORRECT

(B) w^3: 1 for week 1, 8 for week 2, 27 for week 3 ⇒ INCORRECT

(C) 3^w: 3 for week 1, 9 for week 2, 27 for week 3 ⇒ CORRECT

(D) 3w^3: 3 for week 1, 24 for week 2, 81 for week 3 ⇒ INCORRECT

Hence, the answer is (C)

Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50^x = 17; The solution is x = 0.7242.

<h3>What is logarithm?</h3>

When you raise a number with an exponent, there comes a result.

Let's say you get

a^b = c

Then, you can write 'b' in terms of 'a' and 'c' using a logarithm as follows

b = \log_a(c)

'a' is called base of this log function. We say that 'b' is the logarithm of 'c' to base 'a'

Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50^x = 17;

however, she is not quite sure where to start.

The equation is

50^x = 17\\

By taking the log both sides

log_a b = x\\\\a_x = b

By using the base formula

log_0 y = \dfrac{logy}{log b}

So, log_{50} 17= x\\\\

x = \dfrac{log17}{log 50}

x = 0.7242

Rewrite in simplest radical form! Show your work.
vazorg [7]

x^{\frac{1}{\frac{-3}{6} }}

First, let's deal with the fraction in the denominator of the exponent. Multiply the top and bottom of the exponent by 6.

x^{\frac{6}{-3} }

Now that the fraction in the denominator is taken care of, we can reduce the denominator.

x^{-2}. Some professors might accept this as simplest form, but others might ask you to get rid of the negative.

x^{-2} = \frac{1}{x^{2} }
