Step-by-step explanation:

Given

North Carolina has 12 fewer electoral votes than Florida

The total number of votes is 64

Suppose Florida receives x votes

thus, votes received by North Carolina is y

So, we can write

\Rightarrow x-y=12\quad \ldots(i)

\Rightarrow x+y=64\quad \ldots(ii)

Solving the above equations we get

x=38,y=26

What is the solution of the equation 9^2x=6? Round your answer to the nearest ten-thousandth.
sammy [17]

Answer:

0.4077

Step-by-step explanation:

It's important to use parenthesis to avoid confusion.

9^(2x) = 6

Use exponent properties:

(9^2)^x = 6

81^x = 6

Take log of both sides

ln(81^x) = ln(6)

Use log properties:

x ln(81) = ln(6)

Solve for x:

x = ln(6) / ln(81)

x ≈ 0.4077

1) -3x -3 -7x = 17
• start by grouping so add -3x and -7x which gives you -10x
• 10x -3 (+3) = 17 +3 = 20 add 3 on both sides)
• 10x (/10) = 20/ 10 = 2
1) x = 2

2) 10x -6 (+6) = 24 + 6 = 30
• 10x (/10) = 30/ 10 = 3
2) x = 3

3) -4 (+4) -5x = -39 +4 = -35
• -5x (/-5) = -35/ -5 = 7
3) x = 7

4) 3x - 5 > 10
this one i don’t understand, is there a typo maybe ?

5) -5x + x + 16 = -3 you can put a 1 to hold the place of x to make it 1x
• (-5x + 1x) + 16 = -3
• -4x + 16 (-16) = -3 -16 = -19
• -4x (/-4) = -19/ -4 = 4.75 or 4 3/4
5) x = 4.75
