<h3>Answer: x = 6</h3>

======================================================

Work Shown:

$\log_{4}(x+10)+\log_{4}(x-2)=\log_{4}(64)\\\\\log_{4}\left((x+10)(x-2)\right)=\log_{4}(64)\\\\(x+10)(x-2)=64\\\\x^2-2x+10x-20=64\\\\x^2-2x+10x-20-64=0\\\\$

$x^2+8x-84=0\\\\(x+14)(x-6)=0\\\\x+14=0 \ \text{ or } \ x-6=0\\\\x=-14 \ \text{ or } \ x=6\\\\$

Those are the possible solutions, but plugging x = -14 back into the original equation will lead to an error. So we rule x = -14 out

x = 6 works as a solution however

If an intravenous solution containing 123 mg of a drug substance in each 250-mL bottle is to be administered at the rate of 200

12345 [234]

Answer:

24.39mL of the solution would be given per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by direct rule of three, in which there are a direct relationship between the measures, which means that the rule of three is a cross multiplication.

The first step to solve this problem is to see how many mg of the solution is administered per hour.

Each minute, 200 ug are administered. 1mg has 1000ug, so

1mg - 1000 ug

xmg - 200 ug

$1000x = 200$

$x = \frac{200}{1000}$

$x = 0.2mg$

In each minute, 0.2 mg are administered. Each hour has 60 minutes. How many mg are administered in 60 minutes?

1 minute - 0.2 mg

60 minutes - x mg

$x = 60*0.2$

$x = 12mg$

In an hour, 12 mg of the drug is administered. In 250 mL, there is 123 mg of the drug. How many ml are there in 12 mg of the drug.

123mg - 250mL

12 mg - xmL

$123x = 250*12$

$x = \frac{250*12}{123}$

$x = 24.39$ mL

24.39mL of the solution would be given per hour.

Ed takes five 100-point tests in his algebra class. He scores 87, 85 and 87 points on the first three tests. If the scores of hi

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When we take an average of something, we have to add up all the data on the somethings and then divide by the number of somethings we have. Ed takes 5 tests, and we have scores for them; we also have his current average. What we don't know for sure are 2 of the 5 test scores, but we have enough to determine what they are.

If one test has a score of x, and the other test is 3 points less than that, the score on that last test is x - 3. Putting all of that together into an average problem:

$\frac{87+85+87+x+(x-3)}{5}=90$ and simplfiying a bit:

$\frac{256+2x}{5}=90$ . Multiply both sides by 5 to get

256 + 2x = 450; subtract 256 from both sides to get

2x = 194 and divide by 2:

x = 97

The one test score was a 97 and the other one, which was 3 less than that, was a 94.

Can someone please explain to me how to find the interquartile range of something?

Alika [10]

I’ll do an example you have the numbers 1,5,7,2,9 you can tell the median is 7 right? So go from the very left and the median (7) and do the same thing you do to find median. (Id recommend crossing the numbers off as you go if that makes sense! :)
