To divide like bases just subtract the exponents
answer is 2^(13-3) or 2^10 or 1024
<span>(-7) = e/3 + 14
Subtract 14 on both sides
-7 - 14 = e/3 + 14 - 14
-21 = e/3
Multiply by 3 on both sides
-21 * 3 = e/3 * 3
-63 = e</span>
Answer:
3/4 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution)
in simple terms: %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x) simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13 divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.
