If there are 12 students sharing plants and each student need 1/3 of a can, they only need 4 cans for all 12 students!!

let's first off convert those mixed fractions to improper fractions, then get their difference.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{3}{2}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{10}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 10+1}{10}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{21}{10}} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \cfrac{21}{10}-\cfrac{3}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 10}}{\cfrac{(1)21-(5)3}{10}}\implies \cfrac{21-15}{10}\implies \cfrac{6}{10}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}$

now, the original amount, 3/2, if that is the 100%, what is 3/5 off of it in percentage?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2}\\ \frac{3}{2}&100\\\\ \frac{3}{5}&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{~~\frac{3}{2}~~}{\frac{3}{5}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{3}{2}\cdot \cfrac{5}{3}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 5x=200\implies x=\cfrac{200}{5}\implies x=40$

Solve each inequality. Then compare the solutions.<br><br> 3x +4> 16<br> - 2x + 19< 11

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

$3x + 4 > 16 \\ 3x > 16 - 4 \\ \frac{3x}{3} > \frac{12}{3} \\ x > 4 \\ \\ - 2x + 19 < 11 \\ - 2x < 11 - 19 \\ - 2x < - 8 \\ \frac{ - 2x}{ - 2} > \frac{ - 8}{ - 2} \\ x > 4 \\ \\ comparing \\ 4 < x > 4$

2ln(5x)=8 solve for x

White raven [17]

$lnx=log_ex\\----------\\log_ab=c\iff a^c=b\\----------\\Domain:\\5x > 0\ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\x > 0\\D:x\in\mathbb{R^+}\\----------------------\\2ln(5x)=8\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\ln(5x)=4\iff e^4=5x\\\\5x=e^4\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\\\\boxed{x=\frac{e^4}{5}\in D}$
