Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
When working with balanced expressions (stuff on both sides of the equal sign), "what you do to one side, you do to the other", which keeps it balanced.
The first thing we notice is the exponent 1/4, which is one both sides, so we can get rid of it on both sides by using the <u>reverse operation</u>.
The reverse of exponents is <u>square root</u>.
![(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}} = (9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}\\\sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}}} = \sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}}\\\\4x + 10 = 9 + 7x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%284x%20%2B%2010%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%20%3D%20%289%20%2B%207x%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%5C%5C%5Csqrt%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5D%7B%284x%20%2B%2010%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5D%7B%289%20%2B%207x%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C4x%20%2B%2010%20%3D%209%20%2B%207x)
Isolate x to solve. Separate the variables and non-variables.
4x + 10 = 9 + 7x
4x - 4x + 10 = 9 + 7x - 4x Subtract 4x from both sides
10 = 9 + 3x
10 - 9 = 9 - 9 + 3x Subtract 9 from both sides
1 = 3x Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
x = 1/3 Answer
Answer:
0.4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It can be convenient to let a spreadsheet compute the values for you. Here, we have written an explicit formula for the height of the n-th bounce:
h = 5.5×0.64^(n-1)
We have written the formula this way because we are given the height of the first bounce, not the starting height. Each bounce multiplies the height by a factor of 0.64. Then the 7th bounce will have a height of ...
h = 5.5×0.64^6 ≈ 0.378 ≈ 0.4 . . . . feet
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number of dimes=x
and number of quarters=y
x=2y
0.10 x+0.25 y=2.25
or 10x+25y=225
divide by 5
2x+5y=45
2 ×2y+5y=45
4y+5y=45
9y=45
y=45/9=5
x=2y=2×5=10
Hence dimes=10
quarters=5
