Answer:

D. x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $4^{x-3}$ - 2

First, convert $4^{x-3}$ to base 2:

$4^{x-3}$ = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Next, convert $\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ to base 2:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ = $(2^{-1})^{x-4}$

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ = $2^{-1*(x-4)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{2})^{x-3}$ = $2^{2(x-3)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $2^{2(x-3)}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $a^{b+c}$ = $a^{b}$ $a^{c}$ :

$2^{-1(x-4)}$ = $2^{-1x}$ * $2^{4}$ , $2^{2(x-3)}$ = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$

$2^{-1 * x}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$2^{-1x}$ = $(2^{x})^{-1}$ , $2^{2x}$ = $(2^{x})^{2}$

$(2^{x})^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(2^{x})^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Rewrite the equation with $2^{x} = u$ :

$(u)^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(u)^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Solve $u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2:

$u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Refine:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2

Add 3 to both sides:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 + 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2 + 3

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1

Multiply by the Least Common Multiplier (64u):

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify $\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u:

1024

Simplify $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ * 64u:

$u^{3}$

Substitute:

1024 = $u^{3}$ + 64u

Solve for u:

u = 8

Substitute back u = $2^{x}$ :

8 = $2^{x}$

Solve for x:

x = 3

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The maximum amount that Lydia can spend on a one-bedroom apartment is $ 1,750.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Lydia makes $ 7,000 per month in New York City at her interior design company, and that she can't spend more than 25% of her income on the one bedroom apartment, to determine the maximum amount of money that she can spend must be made the following calculation:

7,000 x 0.25 = X

1,750 = X

Thus, the maximum amount that Lydia can spend on a one-bedroom apartment is $ 1,750.

Identify the number that does not belong -10/2, -13.4, 22.continuing 7

Ulleksa [173]

If we are going to simplify the first number by dividing the given numerator by the denominator, we will get an answer of -5. This number and the second one are examples of rational number for they can be easily expressed as quotient of two number. However, the third one is irrational due to the repeating number 7 after the decimal point. Therefore, the answer is the third choice.
