Jamal has $15.00 to spend at the concession stand. He buys nachos for $7.50, and he wants to purchase some sour straws for $1.50

each. How many sour straws can Jamal purchase with the money that he has? (With x and you have to find the x)

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 7.5 + 1.5x = 15

Subtract 7.5 from both sides you get 1.5x = 7.5

Divide both sides by 1.5 you get 5.

He can buy a total of 5 sour straws.

Hope this helps :)

What is the true solution to the equation below?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The solution is:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$lne^{lnx}+lne^{lnx}^{^2}=2ln8$

$\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)}\right)+\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)\cdot \:2}\right)=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \:log_a\left(a^b\right)=b$

$\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)}\right)=\ln \left(x\right),\:\space\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)2}\right)=\ln \left(x\right)2$

$\ln \left(x\right)+\ln \left(x\right)\cdot \:2=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:\ln \left(x\right)+2\ln \left(x\right)=3\ln \left(x\right)$

$3\ln \left(x\right)=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3$

$\frac{3\ln \left(x\right)}{3}=\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}$

$\ln \left(x\right)=\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}.....A$

Solving the right side of the equation A.

$\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}$

As

$\ln \left(8\right):\quad 3\ln \left(2\right)$

Because

$\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Rewrite\:}8\mathrm{\:in\:power-base\:form:}\quad 8=2^3$

⇒ $\ln \left(2^3\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \log _a\left(x^b\right)=b\cdot \log _a\left(x\right)$

$\ln \left(2^3\right)=3\ln \left(2\right)$

So

$\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}=\frac{2\cdot \:3\ln \left(2\right)}{3}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:3=6$

$=\frac{6\ln \left(2\right)}{3}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{6}{3}=2$

$=2\ln \left(2\right)$

So, equation A becomes

$\ln \left(x\right)=2\ln \left(2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \:a\log _c\left(b\right)=\log _c\left(b^a\right)$

$=\ln \left(2^2\right)$

$=\ln \left(4\right)$

$\ln \left(x\right)=\ln \left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule:\:\:If}\:\log _b\left(f\left(x\right)\right)=\log _b\left(g\left(x\right)\right)\:\mathrm{then}\:f\left(x\right)=g\left(x\right)$

$x=4$

Therefore, the solution is

$x=4$

julio bisects angle PQR and labels a point on the bisector as S. He measures angle PQS with a protractor. The measure of angle P

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The measure of angle PQR is 74 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- Bisect an angle means divide the angle into two equal parts in

measures

- Ex: If angle ABC is bisected by a ray BD then:

- Angle ABC is divided into two equal parts in measure

m∠ABD = m∠CBD and

m∠ABC = m∠ABD + m∠CBD

- So we can say measure of angle ABC is twice measure of angle

ABD or twice measure of angle CBD

*<em> Lets solve the problem</em>

- Julio bisects angle PQR and labels a point on the bisector as S

∴ m∠PQS = m∠RQS

∴ m∠PQR = m∠PQS + m∠RQS

∴ m∠PQR = 2 m∠PQS ⇒ (or 2 m∠RQS)

- He measures angle PQS with a protractor and find its measure is

37 degrees

∵ m∠PQS = 37°

∴ m∠PQR = 2 × m∠PQS

∴ m∠PQR = 2 × 37 = 74°

∴ The measure of angle PQR is 74 degrees
