Alright...simple...showing all steps.. ;)

You have the equations...

2x+y=7
and
3x+5y=14

To be able to even solve for any of the variables...multiply the equations by...2...and..3...

2x+y=7----*3--> 6x+3y=21
and
3x+5y=14-----*2--->6x+10y=28

Thus,

6x+3y=21
-
6x+10y=28

=========

-7y=-7

y=1

Now, plug y back into any of the original equations....we'll use 2x+y=7 in this case....

2x+(1)=7

2x+1=7
      -1  -1

2x=6

x=3

Thus, the point of intersection for these two equations is (3,1)

5x - 2 > 7
x = 2, 3, 4, 5.
for x = 2, 5*2 - 2 = 8 > 7
for x = 3, 5*3 - 2 = 13 > 7
for x = 4, 5*4 - 2 = 18 > 7

What is the greatest common factor of 4k, 18k4, and 12? 2 4 2k 4k
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Greatest Common Factor is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest Common Factor is the highest factor that will divide all the numbers. To find the Greatest common factor, first we need to find out the numbers that all the values have in common.

Factors of 4k=1, 2, 4 and k

Factors of 18k=1, 2 , 3, 6, 9, 18 and k

Factors of 12=1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12

Common factors are = 1 and 2.

Therefore,

Greatest Common Factor = 1\times2

                                           =2

The given formula is f(x) = 20(1.2)^x

The formula is the starting amount multiplied by 1 + the percentage raised to the number of weeks.


A) the percent increase is 20% ( 1.2 in the formula is 1 +20% as a decimal)

B) the original amount is $20

C) for 2 weeks, replace x with 2 and solve:

20(1.2)^2

20(1.44) = $28.80

After 2 weeks the coupon is $28.80

D)  To solve for the number of weeks (x) set the equation equal to $100:

100 = 20(1.2)^x

Divide both sides by 20:

5 = 1.2^x

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

ln(5) = ln(1.2^x)

Use the logarithm rule to remove the exponent:

ln(5) = x ln(1.2)

Divide both sides by ln(1.2)

x = ln(5) / ln(1.2)

Divide:

X = 8.83

At 8.83 weeks the coupon would be $100, so after 9 weeks the coupon would be greater than $100

The answer is 9 weeks.
