Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so basically let's start with a proportion.

x/32 = 11.25/9

Cross multiply:

x * 9 = 32 * 11.25

9x = 32 * 11.25

9x = 360

Solving for variable 'x'.

Divide each side by '9'.

x = 40

I don't know if this is the correct answer, but it was based on my math. I hope this helps!

What is the exact solution to the equation 2^2x=5^x−1 ?
Ann [662]

2^2x=5^x−1

Take the log pf both sides:

ln(2^2x) = ln(5^x-1)

Expand the logs by pulling the exponents out:

2xln(2) = (x-1)ln(5)

Simpligy the right side:

2xln(2) = ln(5)x - ln(5)

Now solve for x:

Subtract ln(5)x from both sides:

2xln(2) - ln(5)x = -ln(5)

Factor x out of 2xln(2)-ln(5)x

x(2ln(2) - ln(5)) = -ln(5)

Divide both sides by (2ln(2) - ln(5))

X = - ln(5) / (2ln(2) - ln(5))

Reil [10]

Answer:

13.36

Step-by-step explanation:

I will first create a table

X. Y. XY. X²

1. 20. 20. 1

2. 24. 48. 4

3. 35. 105. 9

4. 46. 184. 16

5. 67. 335. 25

6. 80. 480. 36

1. 12. 12. 1

2. 34. 68. 4

3. 34. 102. 9

5. 78. 430. 25

ΣX = 32

ΣY = 430

ΣXY = 1744

ΣX² = 130

n = 10

The formula for regression line is given as :

Y = a + bX

a = intercept

b = slope

The question requires us to find b which is the slope.

b = nΣXY-ΣXΣY/nΣX²-(ΣX)²

= 10x1744-32x430/10x130-(32)²

= 17440-13760/1300-1024

= 3680/276

= 13.36

b = 13.36
