Henry needs to rent a tractor. Jim Bob’s Equipment rentals rents tractors for a delivery fee of $230 plus an additional $14 per

Answer:

<u>Both rental companies will charge the same amount ($ 440) for 15 rental days</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the problem correctly:

Jim Bob's Equipment rate = delivery fee of $230 plus an additional $14 per day

Jonny’s Equipment Rentals = delivery fee of $95 plus an additional $23 per day

2. Determine the number of rental days for which both rental companies charge the same amount.

x = Rental days

Now, let's write the equation to solve for x, this way:

Jim Bob's Equipment rate = 230 + 14x

Jonny’s Equipment Rentals = 95 + 23x

230 + 14x = 95 + 23x

14x - 23x = 95 - 230

-9x = -135

x = -135/-9

<u>x = 15</u>

230 + 14 * 15 = 95 + 23 * 15

230 + 210 = 95 + 345

440 = 440

<u>Both rental companies will charge the same amount ($ 440) for 15 rental days</u>

Ln(x-3) - ln(x+3) = ln (2/x)
cricket20 [7]
The answers are x=6 or x=-1.

To solve this, we first use the quotient rule for the natural logarithm.  It says that ln(x/y) = ln(x) - ln(y).  Applying this, we take our original equation,
\ln(x-3)-\ln(x+3)=\ln(\frac{2}{x})
and rewrite it as
\ln\frac{x-3}{x+3}=\ln\frac{2}{x}

We undo natural log by raising e to both sides:
e^{\ln\frac{x-3}{x+3}}=e^{\ln\frac{2}{x}}

Once this is canceled we are left with:
\frac{x-3}{x+3}=\frac{2}{x}

If we view this as a proportion, we can cross multiply:
(x-3)(x) = 2(x+3)

Using the distributive property on both sides we have:
x²-3x=2x+6

Cancel the 2x from the right hand side by subtracting:
x²-3x-2x=2x+6-2x
x²-5x=6

Cancel the 6 by subtracting:
x²-5x-6=0

This is easily factorable.  We want factors of -6 that sum to -5; -6(1) = -6 and -6+1=-5:
(x-6)(x+1)=0

Using the zero product property, we know either x-6=0 or x+1=0; thus x=6 or x=-1.

A pair of vertical angles has measures (3x+4)° and (7x-9)°<br> What is the value of x?
Andrei [34K]
Since they are vertical they are equal to each other.

3x + 4 = 7x - 9
4 = 4x - 9
13 = 4x 
3.25 = x

So the value of x is 3.25.

Hope this helps :)

Simplify the following expression. 3^11/5 divided by 3^-9/5
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Answer is 81.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two expressions are 3^{\frac{11}{5} } and 3^{-\frac{9}{5} }

Now we divide first expression by the second.

\frac{3^{\frac{11}{5} }}{3^{-\frac{9}{5} } }

3^{\frac{11}{5} }.3^{\frac{9}{5} }

3^{\frac{11}{5}+\frac{9}{5}} = 3^{\frac{20}{5} }=3^{4}=81

Therefore 81 is the answer.
