Answer:

$x=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{6\left(x-2\right)}{2}=\frac{3\left(x+5\right)}{8}\\\mathrm{Apply\:fraction\:cross\:multiply:\:if\:}\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\mathrm{\:then\:}a\cdot \:d=b\cdot \:c\\6\left(x-2\right)\cdot \:8=2\cdot \:3\left(x+5\right)\\Simplify\\48\left(x-2\right)=6\left(x+5\right)\\\mathrm{Expand\:}48\left(x-2\right):\quad 48x-96\\48\left(x-2\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac\\a=48,\:b=x,\:c=2\\=48x-48\cdot \:2\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:48\cdot \:2=96$

$=48x-96\\\mathrm{Expand\:}6\left(x+5\right):\quad 6x+30\\6\left(x+5\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac\\a=6,\:b=x,\:c=5\\=6x+6\cdot \:5\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:6\cdot \:5=30\\=6x+30\\48x-96=6x+30\\\mathrm{Add\:}96\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\48x-96+96=6x+30+96\\Simplify\\48x=6x+126\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}6x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\48x-6x=6x+126-6x\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\42x=126\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}42$

$\frac{42x}{42}=\frac{126}{42}\\Simplify\\x=3$

What is the value of 4 x minus 7 when x = 4?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation: Here, we have the expression <em>4x - 7</em> and we want to evaluate the expression when <em>x</em> is equal to 4.

To evaluate an expression, we simply plug the value

of the variable into the expression and solve.

So here, since <em>x</em> is equal to 4, we have 4(4) - 7.

4(4) is equal to 16.

So we have 16 - 7 which is equal to 9.

So the value of our expression when <em>x</em> is equal to 4 is 9.

determine the base, b, of the exponential model. Is the base a growth or decay factor? a. b is 0.6394; It is a growth factor. b.

Kazeer [188]

An exponential model can be described by the function
$f(x) = a(b)^x$
where: a is the initial population or the starting number, b is the base and x is the number of periods elapsed.

When the base of an exponential model is greater than 1 it is called a growth factor, but when it is less than 1 it is called a decay factor.

Given the exponential model
$n=20.5(0.6394)^t$
n is the final output of the exponential model, 20.5 is the starting number, 0.6394 is the base and t is the number of periods/time elapsed.

Here, the base is 0.6394 which is less than 1, hence a decay factor.

Therefore, <span>the base, b, of the exponential model is 0.6394; It is a decay factor.</span>

<h2>✔Answer</h2>

<h2>✏Part A :-</h2><h2>Exponential decay describes the process of reducing an amount by a consistent percentage rate over a period of time. It can be expressed by the formula y=a(1-b)x wherein y is the final amount, a is the original amount, b is the decay factor, and x is the amount of time that has passed.</h2>
