Answer:
x ≈ 0.309906932381 or 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are no algebraic methods of solving a mixed exponential and polynomial equation. The value of x can be found by guessing, or by other means such as trial and error or graphing.
Attached is a graph showing two solutions. x = 4 is the integer solution (2^4 = 4·4). The irrational solution is approximately x ≈ 0.309906932381. That precision is obtained by Newton's method iteration, easily done by a graphing calculator.
3 less than the quotient of a number y and 4
3 < y / 4
3 < y/4
x 4 x 4
12 < y
The budget of Van for groceries for 1 week is:
12 $ (per a weekday) * 5 (weekdays) + 15 $(per a weekend day) *2 (weekend days) = 60$ +30$ = 90$
The budget of Van for w weeks is:
90 $ (per week) * w (weeks) = 90w dollars.
Answer: 90w $
32 gallons of 25 % antifreeze should be combined with 8 gallons of 50 % antifreeze to get 40 gallon of 30% antifreeze
<h3><u>
Solution:</u></h3>
From given,
Final mixture is 40 gallon
Let "x" be the gallon of 25 % antifreeze
Then, (40 - x) is the gallon of 50 % antifreeze
Therefore, according to question,
"x" gallons of 25 % antifreeze should be combined with (40 - x) gallons of 50 % antifreeze to get 40 gallon of 30% antifreeze
<h3><u>Therefore, we frame a equation as:</u></h3>
25 % of x + 50 % of (40 - x) = 30 % of 40
Solve for "x"

Thus, 32 gallons of 25 % antifreeze is used
Then, (40 - x) = (40 - 32) = 8
Thus 8 gallons of 50 % antifreeze is used
