Answer:
C = 6.75n + 50
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the cost of renting the party room can be written in the form;
C= mn+k ......i
Where C = cost
n = number of people
Substituting the 2 cases into the equation we have,
Case 1
117.5 = 10m + k ......1
Case 2
151.25 = 15m + k .....2
Subtracting eqn 1 from 2 we have
151.25 - 117.50 = 15m - 10m
5m = 33.75
m = 33.75/5 = 6.75
Substituting m = 6.75 into eqn 1, we have
117.50 = 10(6.75) + k
k = 117.5 - 67.50
k = 50
Therefore, rewriting the eqn i, we have
C = 6.75n + 50
Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
9^2 * 27^3 = 3^x
We need to get each term with a base of 3
9^2 = (3^2) ^2
We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)
(3^2) ^2 = 3^(2+2) = 3^4
27^3 = (3^3) ^3 = 3^(3*3) = 3^9
Replacing these in the original equation
3^4 * 3^9 = 3^x
We know that a^b *a^c = a^(b+c)
3^4 * 3^9 =3^(4+9) = 3^13 = 3^x
The bases are the same, so the exponents must be the same
x=13
4x - 2 = 2x + 8
2x -2 = 8
2x = 10
x = 5
4(5)-2 = 2(5)+8
20-2 = 10+8
18 = 18
ten tens are one hundred and then they both have 4 tens or forty
