R=x(A+B)
divide both sides by x
R/x=A+B
minus B both sides
(R/x)-B=A
A=(R/x)-B
$0.31 for each pint hope this helps
The equation seems to be
1
-------- = 5 ^ (x + 4)
25
In that case, this is the solution, stept by step:
1) factor 25: 25 = 5^2
1
=> ----------- = 5^(x + 4)
5^2
2) invert 5^2
=> 5^(-2) = 5^(x+4)
3) Given that the bases are equal, the exponents also have to be equal:
=> - 2 = x + 4
3) transpose +4:
=> - 2 - 4 = x
=> x = - 6
Answer: - 6
B. 7 because 24 + 24 = 48 meaning 6 cars have been washed within 48 mins. 1 car can be washed in 8 mins. 48 + 8 = 56
