Answer: 62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

first, set up the proportion. 5/8 = ?/100 in order to solve, divide 100 by 8.

the answer is 12.5. next you multiply it by 5 to get 62.5. fill it in to your equation, and you get 5/8 = 62.5/100. turn the second fraction into a percent, then you have your answer. 62.5%

Demonstrate two different ways to solve the equation 5^(2x+1) = 25.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1: Taking the log of both sides...

So take the log of both sides...

5^(2x + 1) = 25

log 5^(2x + 1) = log 25 <-- use property: log (a^x) = x log a...

(2x + 1)log 5 = log 25 <-- distribute log 5 inside the brackets...

(2x)log 5 + log 5 = log 25 <-- subtract log 5 both sides of the equation...

(2x)log 5 + log 5 - log 5 = log 25 - log 5

(2x)log 5 = log (25/5) <-- use property: log a - log b = log (a/b)

(2x)log 5 = log 5 <-- divide both sides by log 5

(2x)log 5 / log 5 = log 5 / log 5 <--- this equals 1..

2x = 1

x=1/2

Method 2

5^(2x+1)=5^2

2x+1=2

2x=1

x=1/2

Quadrilateral QRST is a square. If the measure of angle RQT is 3x - 6. Find the value of x.

trapecia [35]

Given that quadrilateral QRST is a square.

Each angle of a square is of 90 degrees.

Angle <RQT is also an angle of 90 degrees.

We also given angle RQT = 3x - 6.

So, we can setup an equation as 3x-6 =90.

Now, we need to solve the equation for x.

6 is being subtracted from left side.

We always apply reverse operation. Reverse operation of subtraction is addition.

So, adding 6 on both sides of the equation, we get

3x-6+6 =90+6.

3x = 96.

3 is being multipied with x, in order to remove that 3, we need to apply reverse operation of multiplication.

So, dividing both sides by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{96}{3}$

x=32 (final answer).
