Answer:

See the detailed answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Ratio=  1:4:7

combined ratio= 1+4+7= 12

Total amount= $636,000

Apply the part to all method

The first person will take

1/12= x/ 636,000

cross multiply

12x= 636,000*1

x= 636,000/12

x= 53000

The second person will take

4/12= x/ 636,000

cross multiply

12x= 636,000*4

x= 2544000/12

x= 212000

The third person will take

7/12= x/ 636,000

cross multiply

12x= 636,000*7

x= 4452000/12

x= 371000

What is the solution of log4x − 616 = 4? x = −2 x = 2 x = 3 x = 4
ivolga24 [154]
<span>This is how to solve for log expressions.
First, do the arithmetic such that all that can be solved is in the other side, besides log. 
There are different properties of log to help you solve log expressions.

log4x − 616 = 4
</span><span>log4x = 620
</span>Change how it is written to solve for x.
x^620 = 4
This makes no sense so we try again.

Or, this could be solved differently.
log 4x-6 16 = 4
(4x-6) ^4 = 16
256x - 1296 = 16
x = 5.125

Final answer: x = 5
