If 5.3 pounds of nails cost $16.96 what is the price of one pound of nails?

2 answers:

8 0

This is the word formula we can use to solve this problem:

Price of 1 pound of nails = price for ____# of pounds of nails ÷ ___# of pounds of nails

Our number to fill in the ____ is 5.3.

price for 5.3 pounds of nails: $16.96

This means:
price for 1 pound of nails = $16.96 ÷ 5.3

16.96 ÷ 5.3 = 3.2

Therefore 1 pound of nails costs $3.2.

Simplify into one logarithm 2 log x + 3 log y

const2013 [10]

If a logarithm has a coefficient, then the coefficient can also be written as the exponent of the input of the logarithm. In other words, if you have the logarithm alog(x), that is equal to log(x^a). So the expression can be rewritten:

log(x^2)+log(y^3)

If tow logarithms of the same bases are added together that is equal to the logarithm of the product of the inputs of the two original logarithms. In other words, given log(x)+log(y), it can also be written as log(xy). So the expression can be combined into one logarithm:

log(x^2 * y^3)

What is true of the graph of two lines 3y-8=-5x and 6y=-10x+16

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Both lines are equal (they are the same)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$3y - 8 = -5x$

$6y = -10x + 16$

Required

What is true about graph of both lines

Questions like this are better solved when there's option(s) to select from. However, some of the properties of line equation that I'll consider are to check if both lines are either parallel or perpendicular

To do this,

The first thing to do is to calculate the slope of both lines

$3y - 8 = -5x$

Add 8 to both sides

$3y - 8 + 8 = -5x + 8$

$3y = -5x + 8$

Divide both sided by 3

$\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

$Slope = -\frac{5}{3}$

Solve for the y intercept; Let x = 0

$y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3}$

Solve for the x intercept; Let y = 0

$0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

Subtract $\frac{8}{3}$ from both sides

$0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}$

$- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}$

Subtract both sides by $-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{8}{5} = x$

$x = \frac{8}{5}$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$6y = -10x + 16$

Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6y}{6} = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}$

$y = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}$

Simplify fractions to lowest term

$y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

$Slope = -\frac{5}{3}$

Solve for the y intercept; Let x = 0

$y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3}$

Solve for the x intercept; Let y = 0

$0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

Subtract $\frac{8}{3}$ from both sides

$0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}$

$- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}$

Subtract both sides by $-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{8}{5} = x$

$x = \frac{8}{5}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By comparing the slope, x intercept and y intercept of both lines;

It'll be observed that they have the same slope, x intercept and y intercept

This implies that both lines are equal; in other words, they are the same.
