Subtract 2 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 6:

Answer:
xy - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Product of x and y = xy
Required number = xy - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we will, Provide index power 5 on both the sides, so that we can cancel out the 5th power root in the L.H.S
so we get as,
==> x+7 = (-2)^5
==> x+7 = -32
==> x = -32-7
==> x = -39
hence, x = -39
Option A.) is correct.
Answer: fourth option
Explanation:1) the pair x = 3 f(x) = 0, leads you to probe this:
f(3) = 0 = A [4 ^ (3 - 1) ] + C = 0
=> A [4^2] = - C
A[16] = - C
if A = 1/4
16 / 4 = 4 => C = - 4
That leads you to the function f(x) = [1/4] 4 ^( x - 1) - 4
2) Now you verify the images for that function for all the x-values of the table:
x = 2 => f(2) + [1/4] 4 ^ (2 - 1) - 4 = [1/4] 4 - 4 = 4 / 4 - 4 = 1 - 4 = - 3 => check
x = 3 => f(3) = [1/4] 4^ (3 - 1) - 4 = [1/4] 4^2 - 4 = 16 / 4 - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0 => check
x = 4 -> f(4) = [1/4] 4^ (4-1) - 4 = [1/4] 4^(3) - 4 = (4^3) / 4 - 4 = 4^2 - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 => check.
Therefore, you have proved that the answer is the fourth option.
Answer:
see the attachment
7 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost for River Y is a constant (not dependent upon hours), so is c = 41.
The cost for River Z is the sum of the deposit and the hourly cost, so is ...
c = 13+4n
These equations and their graphs are shown in the attachment. The graphs cross where n=7, indicating you have to rent a canoe for 7 hours for the cost to be the same on both rivers.
