We’ll subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator, keeping the base the same. Cant be simplified, because the base of the expression in the numerator is y and the base of the expression in the denominator is x.
To solve equations, you isolate the variable you are solving for on one side and everything else on the other side.
The first step to solving this equation is to combine like terms.
Combining like terms means to add up all terms that have the same variable(s) and exponent.
If no exponent is shown, then a 1 exponent is implied. The reason why we don't show a term raised to the first power is that it doesn't have any effect on the term.
I see three terms with the x variables. We can combine them. Why? Because they all have the same variable and exponent.
I'll rearrange the left-hand side to combine all the terms with the x variable.
Now we have -3 + 2x - 4x - 2x = -6
Combine all terms that have the x variable.
-3 + 2x - 4x - 2x = -6
-3 - 4x = -6
Now we have -3 - 4x = -6
What can we do now to isolate the x variable on the left-hand side?
For starters, we can add 3 to each side of the equation.
That way the -3 term will disappear.
-3 - 4x + 3 = -6 + 3
-4x = -3
Last step.
The x variable is being multiplied by the -4. If we reverse that operation
we can get the value of x.
-4x / -4 = 3 / -4
x = 3/-4 or x = -0.75
If Mike is willing to pay no more than an effective rate of 8.000% annually, the loans that meet his criteria are loan X and loan Z. Of those two, the lowest would be loan X. I hope the answer will help you :)
Answer:
20 apple pies
Step-by-step explanation:
On Saturday they sold 16, while on Sunday they sold 4 more.
16+4 = 20.
20 apple pies.
I don't understand. What are the values given? Are they values of an x,y plot?
If you plot them they are a straight line with y =6x - 2.9 but I don't know what you mean by when x=3 and y = 4?
