Hello,

Let's assume x the time the express runs.

56*x=35*(1.5+x)
==>21x=52.5

==>x=2.5 h =2 h 30 min

Solution for 18-3.8t=7.36-1.98
ohaa [14]

\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{Solve for t:}\\\\18-3.8t=7.36-1.98\\\\18-3.8t=5.38\\\\\text{Subtract 18 from both sides}\\\\-3.8t=-12.62\\\\\text{Divide both sides by -3.8}\\\\t=3.321053\\\\\text{Round to the nearest hundredths}\\\\\boxed{t=3.32}

Need help please help me
ANTONII [103]
Megan:
x to the one third power =  x ^{1/3}
<span>x to the one twelfth power = </span>x ^{1/12}

<span>The quantity of x to the one third power, over x to the one twelfth power is:
</span>\frac{x ^{1/3}}{x ^{1/12}}
<span>
Since </span>\frac{ x^{a} }{ x^{b} } = x ^{a-b}
then \frac{x ^{1/3}}{x ^{1/12}} = x^{1/3-1/12}

Now, just subtract exponents:
1/3 - 1/12 = 4/12 - 1/12 = 3/12 = 1/4

\frac{x ^{1/3}}{x ^{1/12}} = x^{1/3-1/12} = x^{1/4}


Julie:
x times x to the second times x to the fifth = x * x² * x⁵

<span>The thirty second root of the quantity of x times x to the second times x to the fifth is
</span>\sqrt[32]{x* x^{2} * x^{5} }
<span>
Since </span>x^{a}* x^{b}= x^{a+b}
Then \sqrt[32]{x* x^{2} * x^{5} }= \sqrt[32]{ x^{1+2+5} } =\sqrt[32]{ x^{8} }

Since \sqrt[n]{x^{m}} = x^{m/n} }
Then \sqrt[32]{ x^{8} }= x^{8/32} = x^{1/4}

Since both Megan and Julie got the same result, it can be concluded that their expressions are equivalent.

Two more than the square of a number is 123 what is the number? Can someone please explain to me how to do this
max2010maxim [7]

Give the number a label.  That can be anything you want.  A lot of people will use 'x' every single time they do a math problem,but there's no reason to do that and it's boring.  Let's call our number ' M ' for 'Mystery number'.  OK ? 

                                             The number . . . M
                       The square of the number . . . M²
Two more than the square of the number . . . M² + 2

You said that this is equal to 123,  so we can write    <u> M² + 2 = 123</u>

That's the equation we have to take and solve for ' M '.

Subtract  2  from each side of the equation, and you have    M² = 121 .

Take the square root of each side:    M = √121 .

The Mystery number is the square root of  121.

If you don't happen to know what that is, then you can use your pocket
calculator, or the calculator that comes with your computer (if you know
how to find it).  They will all tell you that the square root of  121  is  <em>11</em> .

That's a fine and wonderful answer, but technically, it's only half of the
answer.  Any equation that has something squared in it almost always
has two solutions, and this one does.

The square root of  121  is a number that gives you  121  when you
multiply it by itself.  ' 11 ' does that:  (11 x 11) = 121 .  Is there <em><u>another</u></em>
number that does the same thing ?

How about ' -11 ' ?  Look at this:  ( -11 x -11 ) = 121 .  (Remember that
if both numbers being multiplied have the <em>same sign</em>, then their product
is positive.)

The bottom line is:  The mystery number is<em>  +11</em>  and also<em>  -11</em> .
Either one does what you want . . . When you square it and then
add  2  more, you get  123  either way.
