Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x-1)= 9(x+2)

6x-6= 9x+18

6x-9x= 18+6

-3x= 24

-3x÷-3= 24÷-3

x=-8

Answer:

x=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

6\left(x-1\right)=9\left(x+2\right)\\\mathrm{Expand\:}6\left(x-1\right):\quad 6x-6\\6\left(x-1\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac\\a=6,\:b=x,\:c=1\\=6x-6\cdot \:1\\\mathrm{Expand\:}9\left(x+2\right):\quad 9x+18\\9\left(x+2\right)\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:distributive\:law}:\quad \:a\left(b+c\right)=ab+ac\\a=9,\:b=x,\:c=2\\=9x+9\cdot \:2\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:9\cdot \:2=18\\=9x+18\\6x-6=9x+18\\\mathrm{Add\:}6\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}

6x-6+6=9x+18+6\\Simplify\\6x=9x+24\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}9x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\6x-9x=9x+24-9x\\Simplify\\-3x=24\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-3\\\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}\\Simplify\\\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{-3x}{-3}:\quad x\\\frac{-3x}{-3}\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{-a}{-b}=\frac{a}{b}\\=\frac{3x}{3}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{3}{3}=1\\=x\\\mathrm{Simplify\:}\frac{24}{-3}:\quad -8\\\frac{24}{-3}

\mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\quad \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b}\\=-\frac{24}{3}\\\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{24}{3}=8\\=-8\\

Travis has a budget of $300 that he can spend on perennial flowers and at least 6 annual flowers. Perennial flowers are 18 dolla
boyakko [2]

Answer:

  • 18x + 15y ≤ 300
  • x ≥ 0; y ≥ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables are defined in the problem statement.

  18x +15y ≤ 300 . . . . total budget

  y ≥ 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .  minimum number of annuals

  x ≥ 0 . . . . . number of perennials cannot be negative

This system of inequalities describes the situation.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

\large\boxed{1.\ f^{-1}(x)=4\log(x\sqrt[4]2)}\\\\\boxed{2.\ f^{-1}(x)=\log(x^5+5)}\\\\\boxed{3.\ f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{4^{x-1}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\log_ab=c\iff a^c=b\\\\n\log_ab=\log_ab^n\\\\a^{\log_ab}=b\\\\\log_aa^n=n\\\\\log_{10}a=\log a\\=============================

1.\\y=\left(\dfrac{5^x}{2}\right)^\frac{1}{4}\\\\\text{Exchange x and y. Solve for y:}\\\\\left(\dfrac{5^y}{2}\right)^\frac{1}{4}=x\qquad\text{use}\ \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^n=\dfrac{a^n}{b^n}\\\\\dfrac{(5^y)^\frac{1}{4}}{2^\frac{1}{4}}=x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by }\ 2^\frac{1}{4}\\\\\left(5^y\right)^\frac{1}{4}=2^\frac{1}{4}x\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\5^{\frac{1}{4}y}=2^\frac{1}{4}x\qquad\log_5\ \text{of both sides}

\log_55^{\frac{1}{4}y}=\log_5\left(2^\frac{1}{4}x\right)\qquad\text{use}\ a^\frac{1}{n}=\sqrt[n]{a}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}y=\log(x\sqrt[4]2)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\y=4\log(x\sqrt[4]2)

--------------------------\\2.\\y=(10^x-5)^\frac{1}{5}\\\\\text{Exchange x and y. Solve for y:}\\\\(10^y-5)^\frac{1}{5}=x\qquad\text{5 power of both sides}\\\\\bigg[(10^y-5)^\frac{1}{5}\bigg]^5=x^5\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\(10^y-5)^{\frac{1}{5}\cdot5}=x^5\\\\10^y-5=x^5\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\10^y=x^5+5\qquad\log\ \text{of both sides}\\\\\log10^y=\log(x^5+5)\Rightarrow y=\log(x^5+5)

--------------------------\\3.\\y=\log_4(4x^2)\\\\\text{Exchange x and y. Solve for y:}\\\\\log_4(4y^2)=x\Rightarrow4^{\log_4(4y^2)}=4^x\\\\4y^2=4^x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\y^2=\dfrac{4^x}{4}\qquad\text{use}\ \dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}\\\\y^2=4^{x-1}\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{4^{x-1}}
