Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, the formula for area is the length times the width. So, if we know the width is 3, and we know the total area is 24, all we need to do is divide 24 by 3 to get 8. 8 is the split up side, the one that is x + 2. To find x, simply subtract 2 from 8. 8 - 2=6.
24/3=8
8-2=6
Since the equation is in slope-intercept form, we know from the definition of slope-intercept form that 6 is the y-intercept.
If you need to find x. The answer is x=1/-2. Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the answers to see which works. (The first one does.)
Or, you can solve for the variable:
Divide by 75
... (1/5)^(x/5) = 3/75 = 1/25
Recognize that 25 = 5^2, so ...
... (1/5)^(x/5) = (1/5)^2
Equating exponents, you have
... x/5 = 2
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
You can also start by taking logarithms:
... log(75) +(x/5)log(1/5) = log(3)
... (x/5)log(1/5) = log(3) -log(75) = log(3/75) = log(1/25) . . . . simplify the log
... x/5 = log(1/25)/log(1/5) = 2 . . . . . simplify (or evaluate) the log expression
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
"Equating exponents" is essentially the same as taking logarithms.
Im confused could you explain what the questions are better.
