Yes, I am pretty sure you are correct.
Use this rule: <em>(x^a)^b = x^ab</em>
3(x + 2)^3/5 + 2 = 27
Subtract 3 from both sides
3(x + 2)^3/5 = 27 - 3
Simplify 27 - 3 to 24
3(x + 2)^3/5 = 24
Divide both sides by 3
(x + 2)^3/5 = 24/3
Simplify 24/3 to 8
(x + 2)^3/5 = 8
Take the cube root of both sides
x + 2 = 3/5√8
Invert and multiply
x + 2 = 8^5/3
Calculate
x + 2 = 2^5
Simplify 2^5 to 32
x + 2 = 32
Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 32 - 2
Simplify 32 - 3 to 30
<u>x = 30</u>
Sense the two triangles are congruent you would use CPCTC.
Step-by-step explanation:
-2a + x
Putting values of a = - 2 and x = 7
-2(-2) + 7
4 + 7
= 11
Answer:
The gardeners should buy 45 white hydrangeas and 104 pink hydrangeas.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the gardeners at Middleton Place Gardens have to buy x numbers of white hydrangeas and y number of pink hydrangeas.
So, x + y = 41 {Given} ........... (1)
Again, for another flower bed they want to plant 108 hydrangeas, where the number of white ones is 2 times that of Middleton Place Gardens and the number of pink ones is 3 times that of Middleton Place Gardens.
So, 2x + 3y = 108 ........ (2)
Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get,
3y - 2y = 108 - 82 = 26
⇒ y = 26
And from equation (1) we get,
x = 41 - 26 = 15.
So, the total number of white hydrangeas the gardeners have to buy is (x + 2x) = 3x = 3 × 15 = 45.
And the total number of pink hydrangeas the gardeners have to buy is (y + 3y) = 4y = 4 × 26 = 104. (Answer)
