Answer: the maximum number of socks she will be able to make from the leftover yarn is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sweaters.

Let y represent the number of socks.

The baby sweaters take 10 feet of yarn and the baby socks take 5 feet of yarn. This means that the total number of feet of yarn needed to make x sweaters and y socks is expressed as

10x + 5y

She has 100 feet of yarn and wants to make 5 sweaters. This means that

10 × 5 + 5y = 100

50 + 5y = 100

5y = 100 - 50 = 50

y = 50/5

y = 10

3w +2 =7w
-3w       -3w
2=4w
Divide each side by 4
1/2=w

Check your answer:
3 (1/2) + 2 = 7 (1/2)
(3/2) + (4/2) = (7/2)
(7/2) = (7/2)

Hope this helps.

How to solve an expression with variables in the exponents?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

  use logarithms

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the logarithm of an expression with a variable in the exponent makes the exponent become a coefficient of the logarithm of the base.

__

You will note that this approach works well enough for ...

  a^(x+3) = b^(x-6) . . . . . . . . . . . variables in the exponents

  (x+3)log(a) = (x-6)log(b) . . . . . a linear equation after taking logs

but doesn't do anything to help you solve ...

  x +3 = b^(x -6)

There is no algebraic way to solve equations that are a mix of polynomial and exponential functions.

__

Some functions have been defined to help in certain situations. For example, the "product log" function (or its inverse) can be used to solve a certain class of equations with variables in the exponent. However, these functions and their use are not normally studied in algebra courses.

In any event, I find a graphing calculator to be an extremely useful tool for solving exponential equations.

) Sarah donated one-tenth of her salary to an orphanage, one-third of her salary is spent on food, one-fourth of salary on rent
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

₹ 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's salary =₹ 30000

  • one-tenth of her salary to an orphanage= 1/10*₹ 30000= ₹ 3000
  • one-third of her salary is spent on food= 1/3*₹ 30000= ₹ 10000
  • one-fourth of salary on rent and electricity =1/4*₹ 30000= ₹ 7500
  • one-twentieth of her salary on the telephone= 1/12*₹ 30000= ₹ 2500
  • donated some amount to the Prime Minister's relief fund = x
  • She was left with ₹ 3000.

x= ₹ 30000- (₹ 3000+₹ 10000+₹ 7500+₹ 2500+₹ 3000)= ₹ 4000
