Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age of Barry = b

Present age of sister = s

Barry is 8 years older than his sister means if we subtract 8 from present age of Barry both will be of equal age

s=b-8 ............(1)

In 3 years means we have to add 3 in their present age

s+3=b+3

then

he will be twice as old as

2(s+3)=(b+3

2s+6=b+3

2s=b+3-6

2s=b-3...............(2)

Put the value of s from (1) to (2), we have

2(b-8)=b-3

2b-16=b-3

2b-b=-3+16

b=13

Put the value of b in (1)

s=13-8

s=5

Present age of Barry = b = 13

Present age of sister = s = 5

Explain how to solve 3^x-4=6 using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b. include the solution for
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

x = log 10/log 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3^x - 4 = 6

3^x = 10

We take log base 3 of both sides since log_3 3^x is simply x.

log_3 3^x = log_3 10

x = log_3 10

We have an answer for x, but it is a log base 3. We want log base 10.

Now we use the change of base formula.

log_b y = log y/log b

x = log 10/log 3

Abigail made a quilt that has the area of 4,800 sq. inches. The length of the quilt is 1 1/3 times the width of the quilt. What
Aliun [14]
For this case we model the problem as a rectangle.
 The area of the rectangle is given by:
 A = (w) * (l)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 Substituting values we have:
 4800 = (w) * ((1 1/3) * w)
 We rewrite:
 w ^ 2 = 4800 / (1 1/3)
 w ^ 2 = 3600
 w = root (3600)
 w = 60 in
 The long will be then:
 l = (1 1/3) * w
 l = (1 1/3) * (60)
 l = 80 in
 Answer:
 
the dimensions of the quilt are:
 
w = 60 in
 l = 80 in
