3f+3=t
s=2f
21=f+s+t

21=f+(2f)+(3f+3)
21=6f+3
18=6f

3=first
6=second
12=third

FG=8x+4. If GH=4x+8 and FH=15x-9, then what does FH=?

Mashcka [7]

So 8x+4+4x+8=15x-9

Combine like terms.

12x+12=15x-9

Add 9 to both sides.

12x+21=15x

Subtract 12 from both sides.

21=3x

Divide both sides by 3.

x=7

Now plug in 7 for x in 8x+4.

8(7)+4

56+4

=60

Larissa argued that since log2(2) = 1 and log2(4) = 2, then it must be true that log2(3) = 1.5. Is she correct?

mestny [16]

Answer:

$2^{1.5} = 2.8284$ . This means that Larissa is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve logarithms, we have to consider the following:

$\log_{a}(b)$ = c means that $a^{c} = b$ .

So, for example:

$log_{2}(2) = 1$ because $2^{1} = 2$ .

$log_{2}(4) = 2$ because $2^{2} = 4$ .

If $2^{1.5} = 3$ , then Larissa is correct. However, $2^{1.5} = 2.8284$ . This means that Larissa is not correct.

Find the slope and reduce of p=(3/4,1 1/4) q=(-1/2,-1)

sergij07 [2.7K]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
p&({{ \frac{3}{4}}}\quad ,&{{ \frac{1}{4}}})\quad 
% (c,d)
q&({{ -\frac{1}{2}}}\quad ,&{{ -1}})
\end{array}$

$\bf slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-1-\frac{1}{4}}{-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{3}{4}}\quad \cfrac{\leftarrow LCD=4}{\leftarrow LCD=4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\frac{-4-1}{4}}{\frac{-2\cdot 1-3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{-5}{4}}{\frac{-5}{4}}\implies \cfrac{-5}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{-5}\implies 1$
