Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

1.5x + -8 = 7

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 1.5x = 7

Solving

-8 + 1.5x = 7

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 1.5x = 7 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + 1.5x = 7 + 8

1.5x = 7 + 8

Combine like terms: 7 + 8 = 15

1.5x = 15

Divide each side by '1.5'.

x = 10

Simplifying

x = 10

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5x - 8 = 7

=> 1.5x = 7 + 8

=> 1.5x = 15

$= > \frac{15x}{10} = 15$

$= > x = 15 \times \frac{10}{15}$

=> x = 10 (Ans)

So it is 4/5 of the original price.

So, the marked price is 1600 * 5/4 = 2000

Evaluate: log1255 - | - | N | DONE o o o

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

$\log_5(125) =3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

To evaluate $\log 125$ to the base 5

Solution:

We will apply log properties to evaluate.

We will use the following property of logarithms

If $\log _ab=x$

Then, $a^x=b$

Let $\log_5(125) =x$

So, we have

$5^x=125$

We can write $125=5\times 5\times 5=5^3$

$5^x=5^3$

∴ $x=3$

Thus, we have

$\log_5(125) =3$

Compute the exact value of the function for the given x-value without using a calculator. f(x) = 4x for x = -1

bija089 [108]

So when x = -1, you just substitute the variable x to -1.

"4x" means 4 times x, so when x is replaced to -1, that would be 4 times -1.

f(-1) = 4(-1) = -4

So the value of function at x = -1 would be -4.

Hope this helps.
