Hey there!

All we have to do is divide the price ($3.44) by how many pencils there are (8)

$3.44 ÷ 8 = $0.43

So, each pencil costs $0.43

Hope this helps you!

Always remember you are a Work Of Art!

Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.

$4^{5x} = 3^{x-2}$

$\implies \log 4^{5x} = \log 3^{x-2}$

Drop the exponents:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = (x-2) \log 3$

Expand the right side:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = x \log 3 - 2 \log 3$

Move the terms containing x to the left side and factor out x :

$\implies 5x \log 4 - x \log 3 = - 2 \log 3$

$\implies x (5 \log 4 - \log 3) = - 2 \log 3$

Solve for x by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ 2 \log 3 }{ 5 \log 4 - \log 3 }}$

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 3^2 }{ \log 4^5 - \log 3 }$

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log 1024 - \log 3 }$

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log \frac{1024}3 }}$

You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,

$\implies \boxed{x = -\log_{\frac{1024}3}9}$

The cat is a high speed catamaran auto ferry that operates between city A and city B the cat can make the trip in about 2 and 1/

Lyrx [107]

If the CAT operates with a constant speed of 53 mph (which means it beats 53 miles in one hour) and makes a trip in about 2 and 1/2 hours, we just have to multiply 53 by 2 1/2 to find out the overall distance it's beating in that time:

53 * 2 1/2 =
= 53 * 2.5 =
= 132.5

Answer: City A is about 132.5 miles from city B.

The variable Z is directly proportional to X. When X is 10, Z has the value 190.

irina [24]

Since z is proportion to the x
z = a x
190 = a 10
a = 19

when x = 13
z = a x
z = 19 * 13
z = 247
