Answer: x=3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, first express the left side as one logarithm. To do so, apply the quotient rule which is log_bM/N=log_bM-log_bN .

log((2x+1)/(3x-2))=1

Then, express the equation to its equivalent exponential form to eliminate the logarithm.

Note that the exponential form of log_b M=a is M=b^a .

Since the base of the logarithm in the given equation is not written, it indicates that its base is 10.

So re-writing the equation, it becomes:

log_10((2x+1)/(3x-2))=1

And its exponential form is:

(2x+1)/(3x-2)=10^1

(2x+1)/(3x-2)=10

Now that the equation has no more logarithm, the next step is to remove the x in the denominator.

To do so, multiply both sides by 3x-2.

(3x-2)*(2x+1)/(3x-2)=10*(3x-2)

2x+1=30x-20

Next, combine like terms.

To combine 30x and 2x, bring them together on one side of the equation. So, move 2x to the right side by subtracting both sides by 2x.

2x-2x+1=30x-2x-20

1=28x-20

To combine 20 and 1, bring them together on the side opposite the term with x. So, add both sides by 20.

1+20=28x-20+20

21=28x

And, divide both sides by 28 to have x only at the right side.

21/28=(28x)/28

3/4=x

Hence, the solution to the given equation is x=3/4 .

A rideshare service charges a flat fee of $6.00, plus $1.50 for every mile driven. Let t represent the total cost of the ride, a

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The independent variable is m, while the dependent variable is t.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the independent variable?

An independent variable is a variable that does not rely on another variable to change its outcome. In this case, the variable 'm' does not rely on the ride's total cost.

What is the dependent variable?

The dependent variable is a variable that depends on another variable to give its amount. In this case, 't' is the dependent variable, because it depends on how many miles were driven, in order to provide the correct answer.

Write an equation representing this relationship:

t = $6 + ($1.50 x m)

Complete the table to show the total cost for riding 3 to 10 miles:

3 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $10.50 = $6 + ($1.50 x 3)

4 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $12 = $6 + ($1.50 x 4)

5 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $13.50 = $6 + ($1.50 x 5)

6 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $15 = $6 + ($1.50 x 6)

7 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $16.50 = $6 + ($1.50 x 7)

8 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $18 = $6 + ($1.50 x 8)

9 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $19.50 = $6 + ($1.50 x 9)

10 miles: t = $6 + ($1.50 x m) or $21 = $6 + ($1.50 x 10)

The amount of oil used by a ship traveling at a uniform speed varies jointly with the distance and the square of the speed. The

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Joint variation has the equation

y = kxz

k is the constant of variation and needs to be solved for using the initial conditions, then filled in later to another equation related to the given info to solve for something else. We are given y = amount of oil used, x = distance traveled, z-squared is the speed. Our equation looks like this, to be exact:

$y=kxz^2$

Filling in with the initial conditions:

$34=k(60)(20)^2$ which gives us the

k = .0014166667

Now we need to find the amount of oil used, y, under other circumstances, but this time we have our k.

$y=(.0014166667)(32)(23)^2$

which gives us that the amount of oil used, when rounded to the tenths,

y = 24.0 barrels
