Answer:
The answer is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
If you subtract 8-(-1) you would get 9.
Answer:
a=21
AB=23.9
BC=19.5
CD=(23.9)
AD=19.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Each pair of parallel sides are equal in a parallelogram. Sense both pairs use the same variable we can just choose the easiest to solve which would be:
a-1.5=19.5
add 1.5 to both sides
a=21
now substitute 21 in for a in each equation.
AB=CD so
AB=23.9
BC=AD so
BC=19.5
CD=(21)+2.9 so
CD=(23.9)
AD is given so
AD=19.5
First let’s call the square shape A and the rectangle shape B.
To find the area of shape A you do 24 x 24 = 576cm squared
To find the area of shape B you do 40 x 24 = 960cm squared
To find the total area you just add the two areas together
576 + 960 = 1536cm squared
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the answers to see which works. (The first one does.)
Or, you can solve for the variable:
Divide by 75
... (1/5)^(x/5) = 3/75 = 1/25
Recognize that 25 = 5^2, so ...
... (1/5)^(x/5) = (1/5)^2
Equating exponents, you have
... x/5 = 2
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
You can also start by taking logarithms:
... log(75) +(x/5)log(1/5) = log(3)
... (x/5)log(1/5) = log(3) -log(75) = log(3/75) = log(1/25) . . . . simplify the log
... x/5 = log(1/25)/log(1/5) = 2 . . . . . simplify (or evaluate) the log expression
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
"Equating exponents" is essentially the same as taking logarithms.
