Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
When working with balanced expressions (stuff on both sides of the equal sign), "what you do to one side, you do to the other", which keeps it balanced.
The first thing we notice is the exponent 1/4, which is one both sides, so we can get rid of it on both sides by using the <u>reverse operation</u>.
The reverse of exponents is <u>square root</u>.
![(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}} = (9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}\\\sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(4x + 10)^{\frac{1}{4}}} = \sqrt[\frac{1}{4}]{(9 + 7x)^{\frac{1}{4}}}\\\\4x + 10 = 9 + 7x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%284x%20%2B%2010%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%20%3D%20%289%20%2B%207x%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%5C%5C%5Csqrt%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5D%7B%284x%20%2B%2010%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%5D%7B%289%20%2B%207x%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B4%7D%7D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C4x%20%2B%2010%20%3D%209%20%2B%207x)
Isolate x to solve. Separate the variables and non-variables.
4x + 10 = 9 + 7x
4x - 4x + 10 = 9 + 7x - 4x Subtract 4x from both sides
10 = 9 + 3x
10 - 9 = 9 - 9 + 3x Subtract 9 from both sides
1 = 3x Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
x = 1/3 Answer
Answer:
19 is the answer i think.
Another way to write this is:
x = 23y + 5
xy = 6732
Now plug in the first equation into the second:
(23y + 5)y = 6732
23y^2 + 5y - 6732 = 0
Either use quadratic equation or factor:
(y - 17)(23y + 396) = 0
y = 17 or -396/23
You know you can automatically eliminate the second y because it's negative and you need the two integers to multiply to a positive number (6732).
Plug y = 17 back into either equation (second might be easier):
17x = 6732
x = 396
We can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
From the graph, we see the line crosses the y-axis at y = 15. That means the y-intercept is 15, and we have so far y = mx + 15.
Now we need the slope. On the graph we see that for every 3 units up in y, there is 1 unit to the right in x. The slope is 3/1 = 3. m = 3. Now we add the slope to the equation.
y = 3x + 15
Answer: y = 3x + 15
75/100 = 0.75

12 x 0.75 = 9
* The mine elevator travels a
distance of 9 metres per minute.
---------------------
After 2 minutes, the mine elevator
would've travelled 18 metres,
therefore your answer is:
A: -18 metres
