Answer:

D. x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $4^{x-3}$ - 2

First, convert $4^{x-3}$ to base 2:

$4^{x-3}$ = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Next, convert $\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ to base 2:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ = $(2^{-1})^{x-4}$

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ = $2^{-1*(x-4)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{2})^{x-3}$ = $2^{2(x-3)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $2^{2(x-3)}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $a^{b+c}$ = $a^{b}$ $a^{c}$ :

$2^{-1(x-4)}$ = $2^{-1x}$ * $2^{4}$ , $2^{2(x-3)}$ = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$

$2^{-1 * x}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$2^{-1x}$ = $(2^{x})^{-1}$ , $2^{2x}$ = $(2^{x})^{2}$

$(2^{x})^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(2^{x})^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Rewrite the equation with $2^{x} = u$ :

$(u)^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(u)^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Solve $u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2:

$u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Refine:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2

Add 3 to both sides:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 + 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2 + 3

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1

Multiply by the Least Common Multiplier (64u):

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify $\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u:

1024

Simplify $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ * 64u:

$u^{3}$

Substitute:

1024 = $u^{3}$ + 64u

Solve for u:

u = 8

Substitute back u = $2^{x}$ :

8 = $2^{x}$

Solve for x:

x = 3

A retangle has an area of 30 square meters and a perimeter of 34 meters what are the dimensions of the retangle

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: Length = 15 meters

Width = 2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

Area of a rectangle = l × w

where l = length

w = width

Therefore,

2l + 2w = 34 ...... i

l × w = 30 ........ ii

From equation i

2l + 2w = 34

Divide through by 2.

l + w = 17 ...... iii

Then, l = 17 - w ........ iv

Put equation iv into ii

l × w = 30

(17 - w) × w = 30

17w - w² = 30

w² - 17w + 30 = 0

w² - 15w - 2w + 30 = 0

w(w - 15) - 2(w - 15) = 0

(w - 2) = 0

w = 0 + 2 = 2

w - 15 = 0

w = 0 + 15 = 15

Length = 15 meters

Width = 2 meters

Help! BRANLIEST and 300 points!!!

suter [353]

Wouldn’t it be (-2+12)/2 which is 10/2 which is 5. Because that’s how the midpoint formula works you find starting point and end point, you add those two up together and then divide by 2. So the answer for this one is 5.

The ratio of red poms to yellow poms on a float is 5 to 7. if there are 392 yellow poms on the float, how many red poms are ther

Marysya12 [62]

Ratio is written in x:y. therefore for this case, red:yellow
5 : 7

since the question states that there are 392 yellow poms, the 7 units represents 392 yellow poms. now you have to gind what is one unit and then multiply by 5 to find the number of red poms.

392 represents 7 units
1 unit: 392/7=56
5 units: 5×56=280 red poms

therefore the answer is 280 red poms which is C.
