Answer:

n=3

Step-by-step explanation:

-5 (6n +8) =50

First distribute the -5 to 6n and 8. Remember to multiply with the sign!

so -5 x 6n and -5 x 8

which = -30n and -40

so our new equation is

-30n - 40=50

we add 40 to the other side since we want the answer of the variable

-30n - 40 +40 = 50+40

-30n =90

we divide -30 from n to get n alone.

-30n/-30 = 90/-30

n=-3

We can check our answer by plugging it into the equation.

50= -5 (6(-3) +8)

50 = -5 (-18+8) -> 50= -5 (-10)=50

Which equation describes a line parallel to y= 4x+ 5 through point (-2, 1)?

Tema [17]

Hi there!

For a line to be PARALLEL, it must contain the same slope.

The given line has a slope of 4, so we can use the point-slope formula to solve:

$\large\boxed{y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}$

y1 = y-coordinate of given point

x1 = x-coordinate of given point

m = slope

Plug in the values:

$y - 1 = 4(x - (-2))\\\\y - 1 = 4(x + 2)$

Simplify:

$y - 1 = 4x + 8\\\\\boxed{y = 4x + 9}$

5^(2x-1)+5^(x+1)=250 how do you solve? thank you

zepelin [54]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Equations

Solve:

$5^{2x-1}+5^{x+1}=250$

Separate each exponential:

$5^{2x}5^{-1}+5^{x}5^{1}=250$

Operating:

$\displaystyle \frac{5^{2x}}{5}+5^{x}5=250$

Multiplying by 5:

$5^{2x}+25\cdot5^x=1250$

Rearranging:

$5^{2x}+25\cdot5^x-1250=0$

Recall that:

$5^{2x}=(5^{x})^2$

$(5^{x})^2+25\cdot5^x-1250=0$

Calling

$y=5^{x}:$

$y^2+25y-1250=0$

Factoring:

$(y-25)(y+50)=0$

There are two possible solutions:

y=25

y=-50

Since

$y=5^{x}$

y cannot be negative, thus:

$5^{x}=25=5^2$

The solution is:

x = 2
