Answer: Jaclyn spent $48
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 34 = 14
3x = 14+34
X = 48/3 = 16

Answer: 23</h3>
The three angles of any triangle always add to 180, so,
z+62+95 = 180
z+157 = 180
z+157-157 = 180-157 .... subtract 157 from both sides
z = 23
As a check,
z+62+95 = 23+62+95 = 180
so the answer is confirmed.
Answer:
use logarithms
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of an expression with a variable in the exponent makes the exponent become a coefficient of the logarithm of the base.

You will note that this approach works well enough for ...
a^(x+3) = b^(x-6) . . . . . . . . . . . variables in the exponents
(x+3)log(a) = (x-6)log(b) . . . . . a linear equation after taking logs
but doesn't do anything to help you solve ...
x +3 = b^(x -6)
There is no algebraic way to solve equations that are a mix of polynomial and exponential functions.

Some functions have been defined to help in certain situations. For example, the "product log" function (or its inverse) can be used to solve a certain class of equations with variables in the exponent. However, these functions and their use are not normally studied in algebra courses.
In any event, I find a graphing calculator to be an extremely useful tool for solving exponential equations.
So we can make an equation for this, being 7=1/3x, as that effectively says she can make 3 drawings per page.
Knowing this, we can multiply it by 3 to get x=21 (since if she can draw 3 drawings per page, we can imagine that if each drawing took a page she would need 3 times the pieces of paper), therefore she can make 21 drawings.
