             rs + st = rt     Plug in the values
3x + 1 + 2x - 2 = 64   Combine like terms (1 and -2)
       3x -1 + 2x = 64   Combine like terms (3x and 2x)
            -1 + 5x = 64   Add 1 to both sides
                  5x = 65   Divide both sides by 5
                    x = 13

Sara is mixing together a fruit punch for a party. She's made 4 gallons of punch with a mixture of 50% juice. Her mother tells h
Nata [24]
\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&amount(gallons)&juice&\textit{juice amount}\\
&--------&-----&-----\\
\textit{50\% punch}&4&0.50&(4)(0.50)\\
\textit{pure juice}&x&1.00&(x)(1.00)\\
-----&-----&-----&-----\\
mixture&4+x&0.60&(4+x)(0.60)
\end{array}

notice, that, pure juice is 100% juice, dohhh, thus 100/100 = 1.00
50% is 50/100 or 0.50 in decimal format

so..... whatever those two quantities amount to, that is, the 50% and pure juice, or (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00)
they will equal the mixture desired 60% juice, or 0.60, namely (4+x)(0.60)

thus    (4)(0.50) + (x)(1.00) = (4+x)(0.60)

solve for "x"

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

(a-b) *(a-b) *(a-b)

=(a*a*a) -3*(a*a*b)+3*(a*b*b)-(b*b*b)

34000*(1-7%)*(1-7%)*(1-7%)

=34000*(1-0.07)*(1-0.07)*(1-0.07)

=34000*[(1*1*1)-3*(1*1*0.07)+3*(1*0.07*0.07)-(0.07*0.07*0.07)]

=34000*(1-0.21+0.0147-0.000343)

=34000*(0.804357)

=34*1000*(804.357/1000)

=34*804.357

=<u>27348.138</u>

<u>=</u><u>27348</u>

An exponential function f(x) = ab^xpasses through the points (0, 2) and (3, 54). What are the values of a and
Vsevolod [243]

Answers:

a = 2

b = 3

=======================================================

Explanation:

Plug in x = 0 and y = 2 to find that

y = a*b^x

2 = a*b^0

2 = a*1

2 = a

a = 2

Then plug in x = 3 and y = 54 to determine the value of b

y = a*b^x

y = 2*b^x

54 = 2*b^3

2b^3 = 54

b^3 = 54/2

b^3 = 27

b = (27)^(1/3)

b = 3

So we have y = a*b^x update to y = 2*3^x

NO LINKS I NEED REAL ANSWERS <br> what are the 2 missing numbers on the blanks?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P1 = (2000, 1000)  in the form (x1,y1)

P2 = (2012, 3400) in the form (x2,y2)

m = (y2-y1 / x2-x1)

m = ( 3400-1000 ) / (2012 - 2000)

m = 2400 / 12

m = 200

y = 200x + 800
