2+3.25g=y
G would be the independent variable, which means the total cost would depend on it since it depends on the number of games you bowl. Y could be any variable, such as T or C.
2+3.25g=y
Answer:
9 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Do the question algebraically, represented by this equation:
let x be the shorter piece
x + (x + 8) = 26 (longer piece is 8 units longer)
Remove brackets
x + x + 8 = 26 Combine like terms
2x + 8 = 26 Start isolating "x"
2x + 8 - 8 = 26 - 8 Subtract 8 from both sides
2x = 18
2x/2 = 18/2 Divide both sides by 2
x = 9 shorter piece
The shorter piece would be 9 inches.
If you needed the longer piece too:
longer piece = x + 8
x + 8
= 9 + 8
= 17
The longer piece would be 17 inches.
Check your answer:
Longer + Shorter = 26 Substitute the lengths
17 + 9 = 26 Add
26 = 26 same number
LS = RS left side equals right side
The answer is correct.
I typed right on the problem set.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1: Taking the log of both sides...
So take the log of both sides...
5^(2x + 1) = 25
log 5^(2x + 1) = log 25 <-- use property: log (a^x) = x log a...
(2x + 1)log 5 = log 25 <-- distribute log 5 inside the brackets...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 = log 25 <-- subtract log 5 both sides of the equation...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 - log 5 = log 25 - log 5
(2x)log 5 = log (25/5) <-- use property: log a - log b = log (a/b)
(2x)log 5 = log 5 <-- divide both sides by log 5
(2x)log 5 / log 5 = log 5 / log 5 <--- this equals 1..
2x = 1
x=1/2
Method 2
5^(2x+1)=5^2
2x+1=2
2x=1
x=1/2
