Answer:

  1. $1000
  2. $600
  3. $250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the third-place prize value. Then the first place prize has a value of 2t+500, and the second-place prize is 2t+100. The total value of the three prizes is ...

  t +(2t+500) +(2t+100) = 1850

  5t +600 = 1850

  5t = 1250

  t = 250 . . . . . . . . . . . third place prize

  2t +500 = 1000 . . . . first place prize

  1000 -400 = 600 . . .second place prize

The prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places are $1000, $600, and $250, respectively.

Consider the equation below. log4 (x+3)=log2 (2+x). Which system of equations can represent the equation?
Verdich [7]
Using: loga b = log b / log a
1) a=x+3, b=4 → y1=log4 (x+3) → y1= log (x+3) / log 4
2) a=2+x, b=2 →y2=log2 (2+x) → y2=log (2+x) / log 2

Answer:
y1=log (x+3) / log 4, y2= log (2+x) / log 2
