Answer:
2 1/6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/3 + 1 1/2 + x = 6
convert all mixed numbers to improper fractions
7/3 + 3/2 + x = 6/1
change all numbers to have a common denominator
14/6 + 9/6 + x = 36/6
combine like terms
23/6 + x = 36/6
subtract 23/6 from both sides
x = 13/6
convert improper fraction to mixed number
2 1/6
Answer:
-7,-4,-3,+1,+8
Step-by-step explanation:
The bigger the negative number, the less it's worth
Answer:
x ≈ -4.419
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate the constants from the exponentials and write the two exponentials as one. (This puts x in one place.) Then use logarithms.
0 = 2^(x-1) -3^(x+1)
3^(x+1) = 2^(x-1) . . . . . add 3^(x+1)
3×3^x = (1/2)2^x . . . . .factor out the constants
(3/2)^x = (1/2)/3 . . . . . divide by 3×2^x
Take the log:
x·log(3/2) = log(1/6)
x = log(1/6)/log(3/2) . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
x ≈ -4.419

A graphing calculator is another tool that can be used to solve this. I find it the quickest and easiest.

<em>Comment on alternate solution</em>
Once you get the exponential terms on opposite sides of the equal sign, you can take logs at that point, if you like. Then solve the resulting linear equation for x.
(x+1)log(3) = (x-1)log(2)
x=(log(2)+log(3))/(log(2)-log(3))
