Answer:

small number = -3

large number = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose two numbers are x and y

smaller number = x

larger number = y

Given that,

The difference of two numbers is 15

<h2>Equation 1</h2><h3>y - x = 15</h3>

Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger.

<h2>Equation 2</h2><h3>5x = 9 - 2y</h3>

Solve them

-x = 15 - y

x = y -15

put value of x in equation 2

5(y - 15) = 9 - 2y

-75 + 5y = 9 - 2y

-75 - 9 = -2y - 5y

-84 = -7y

y = 84/7

y = 12

x = 12 - 15

x = -3

Se van a transportar sacos que contienen 50 kg de azúcar cada uno, el camión que se va utilizar para el transporte de los sacos

Function: $50x=8000$ (maximum number of packages: 160)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have:

$C=8 ton = 8000 kg$ is the capacity of the truck (the amount of mass that can be stored in the truck)

p = 50 kg is the mass of each package that need to be stored in the truck

We can find the number of packages that can be transported as follows: calling this number x, the total mass of x packages is

$p\cdot x$

This amount should be at most equal to the capacity of the truck, therefore:

$px=c$

And substituting the numbers,

$50x=8000$

And solving the equation, we can found the number of packages that can fit into the truck:

$x=\frac{8000}{50}=160$

Afina-wow [57]

28 miles

increasing by 40% = original + increase = 100 + 40 = 140% = 1.4

multiplying 20 by 1.4 gives total he will run

miles run = 1.4 × 20 = 28

3•f(-4)-3•g(-2)=?<br> Help please

Scilla [17]

Answer:

3⋅f(−4)−3⋅g(−2) = −12f+6g

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the problem as a mathematical expression.

3⋅f(−4)−3⋅g(−2)

Move − 4 to the left of f .

3⋅(−4⋅f)−3⋅(g(−2) )

Multiply−4 by 3.

−12f−3⋅(g(−2) )

Move − 2 to the left of g .

−12f−3⋅(−2⋅g)

and lastly Multiply−2 by −3.

−12f+6g

Hope this helps you out.

Which of the following shows the true solution to the logarithmic equation 3 log Subscript 2 Baseline (2 x) = 3

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the given logarithmic equation of variable x.

The equation is $3\log _{2} (2x) = 3$

⇒ $\log_{2} (2x)^{3} = 3$

{Since, we know the logarithmic property, $a \log b = \log b^{a}$ }

⇒ $\log_{2} (2x)^{3} = 3\log_{2}2 = \log_{2} 2^{3}$

{Since we know that $\log_{a} a = 1$ }

Now cancelling log from both sides we get,

$(2x)^{3} = 2^{3}$

⇒ $x^{3} = 1$

⇒ x = 1 (Answer)
