Answer:

x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  = a 30 day period

The first equation is 50 - 2x (because you start with $50 and subtract 2 for each 30 day period)

The second equation is 40-1.5x

Set them equal to each other:  50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5x

Solve for x:

50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5 x

    +2x         +2x

-----------------------

50 = 40 + 0.5 x

-40   -40

-------------------

10 = 0.5 x

20 = x

So there will be 20 30-day periods until the cards will be equal in value.

Check:  After 20 periods, 50 - 2(20) = $10 left

40 - 1.5(20) = also $10 left

What is the product?<br> (4x)(-3x^8)(-7x^3)
SashulF [63]

Answer:

84x¹²

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify this expression, we work from left to right:

4x(-3x⁸)(-7x³)

Multiplying the coefficients of the first two, we have 4(-3) = -12.  Using the laws of exponents, multiplying powers with the same base means we add the exponents; this gives us x(x⁸) = x¹⁺⁸ = x⁹.  This gives us

-12x⁹(-7x³)

Multiplying the coefficients, we have -12(-7) = 84.  Using the laws of exponents, for the variable we have x⁹(x³) = x⁹⁺³ = x¹²

This gives us

84x¹²

An ice-cream factory makes 250 quarts of ice-cream in 2 hrs. how many could be made in 36 hrs
Nutka1998 [239]
Find the unit rate of this scenario. 250/2 = 125 quarts per hour
Now multiply the unit rate by the new amount.  36*125 = 4500

Add the units

4,500 quarts in 36 hours.

Because if you put a two on one side and put the inverted version of 2, then join them on their lines, it forms a fish. I have more of those types of questions:
