Answer:
(c, d) = (25, 35)
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the first equation by 2.5 and subtract the second one:
2.5(c +d) -(2.5c +1.75d) = 2.5(60) -(123.75)
0.75d = 26.25 . . . . . . . . . simplify
26.25/0.75 = d = 35 . . . . divide by the coefficient of d
60 -d = c = 25 . . . . . . . . . use the first equation to find c
(c, d) = (25, 35)
Answer:
-3.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential equations can be solved by taking Ln (natural logarithm) of both sides. The rule we need to know is:
Now lets work out this problem:
Using calculator, we take the values of Ln 16 and Ln 13 as:
Ln 16 = 2.7726
Ln 13 = 2.5649
Now, we can solve for x:
x is -3.69 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
