Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up the equation. Seeing the word "per", we know that this will be the variable. The repairman charges an initial fee of 37.50, so we add that fee to the total cost of every hour. To find how much Robin can spend, you set it equal to 450

65x + 37.50 = 450

Now subtract 37.50 from both sides because neither number has a variable, so you can subtract them to simplify the equation

65x = 412.5

To isolate x and find what it's equal to, divide both sides by 65 to get rid of the coefficient.

x = 6.34.

However the answer should be 6 because robin cannot afford a full or part of a 7th hour

Differentiate Functions of Other Bases In Exercise, find the derivative of the function.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

\dfrac{dy}{dx} =\dfrac{2 x + 6}{ \log{\left (10 \right )}\left(x^{2} + 6 x\right)}

Step-by-step explanation:

given

y = \log_{10}{(x^2+6x)}

using the property of log \log_ab=\frac{log_cb}{log_ca}, and if c =e,\log_ab=\frac{ln{b}}{ln{a}}, we can rewrite our function as:

y = \dfrac{\ln{\left (x^{2} + 6 x \right )}}{\ln{\left (10 \right )}}

now we can easily differentiate:

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{\ln{10}}\left(\dfrac{d}{dx}(\ln{(x^{2} + 6x)})\right)

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{\ln{10}}\left(\dfrac{2x+6}{x^{2} + 6x}\right)

\dfrac{dy}{dx} =\dfrac{2 x + 6}{ \log{\left (10 \right )}\left(x^{2} + 6 x\right)}

This is our answer!

3/8x + 6(x+3) = -5(1/4x - 1) + 6x find the solution pls
umka21 [38]

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) = 6 x - 5 (x/4 - 1)

Hint: | Put the fractions in x/4 - 1 over a common denominator.

Put each term in x/4 - 1 over the common denominator 4: x/4 - 1 = x/4 - 4/4:

(3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) = 6 x - 5 x/4 - 4/4

Hint: | Combine x/4 - 4/4 into a single fraction.

x/4 - 4/4 = (x - 4)/4:

(3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) = 6 x - 5(x - 4)/4

Hint: | Put the fractions in (3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) over a common denominator.

Put each term in (3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) over the common denominator 8: (3 x)/8 + 6 (x + 3) = (3 x)/8 + (48 (x + 3))/8:

(3 x)/8 + (48 (x + 3))/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Combine (3 x)/8 + (48 (x + 3))/8 into a single fraction.

(3 x)/8 + (48 (x + 3))/8 = (3 x + 48 (x + 3))/8:

(3 x + 48 (x + 3))/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Distribute 48 over x + 3.

48 (x + 3) = 48 x + 144:

(48 x + 144 + 3 x)/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Group like terms in 48 x + 3 x + 144.

Grouping like terms, 48 x + 3 x + 144 = (3 x + 48 x) + 144:

((3 x + 48 x) + 144)/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Add like terms in 3 x + 48 x.

3 x + 48 x = 51 x:

(51 x + 144)/8 = 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Put the fractions in 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4 over a common denominator.

Put each term in 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4 over the common denominator 4: 6 x - (5 (x - 4))/4 = (24 x)/4 - (5 (x - 4))/4:

(51 x + 144)/8 = (24 x)/4 - (5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Combine (24 x)/4 - (5 (x - 4))/4 into a single fraction.

(24 x)/4 - (5 (x - 4))/4 = (24 x - 5 (x - 4))/4:

(51 x + 144)/8 = (24 x - 5 (x - 4))/4

Hint: | Distribute -5 over x - 4.

-5 (x - 4) = 20 - 5 x:

(51 x + 144)/8 = (24 x + 20 - 5 x)/4

Hint: | Combine like terms in 24 x - 5 x + 20.

24 x - 5 x = 19 x:

(51 x + 144)/8 = (19 x + 20)/4

Hint: | Make (51 x + 144)/8 = (19 x + 20)/4 simpler by multiplying both sides by a constant.

Multiply both sides by 8:

(8 (51 x + 144))/8 = (8 (19 x + 20))/4

Hint: | Cancel common terms in the numerator and denominator of (8 (51 x + 144))/8.

(8 (51 x + 144))/8 = 8/8×(51 x + 144) = 51 x + 144:

51 x + 144 = (8 (19 x + 20))/4

Hint: | In (8 (19 x + 20))/4, divide 8 in the numerator by 4 in the denominator.

8/4 = (4×2)/4 = 2:

51 x + 144 = 2 (19 x + 20)

Hint: | Write the linear polynomial on the left hand side in standard form.

Expand out terms of the right hand side:

51 x + 144 = 38 x + 40

Hint: | Move terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 38 x from both sides:

(51 x - 38 x) + 144 = (38 x - 38 x) + 40

Hint: | Combine like terms in 51 x - 38 x.

51 x - 38 x = 13 x:

13 x + 144 = (38 x - 38 x) + 40

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

38 x - 38 x = 0:

13 x + 144 = 40

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Subtract 144 from both sides:

13 x + (144 - 144) = 40 - 144

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

144 - 144 = 0:

13 x = 40 - 144

Hint: | Evaluate 40 - 144.

40 - 144 = -104:

13 x = -104

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 13 x = -104 by 13:

(13 x)/13 = (-104)/13

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

13/13 = 1:

x = (-104)/13

Hint: | Reduce (-104)/13 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -104 and 13.

The gcd of -104 and 13 is 13, so (-104)/13 = (13 (-8))/(13×1) = 13/13×-8 = -8:
