Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

let r represent red marbles then white = 2r + 5 and total is 20, thus

r + 2r + 5 = 20 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3r = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )

r = 5 ← number of red marbles

Thus number of white = 20 - 5 = 15

Consider M, N, and P. collinear points on MP.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three possible cases:

1. Point N lies between M and P, then MN + NP = MP. Consider needed difference:

\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MN+NP}=\dfrac{MN(MN+NP)-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN^2+MN\cdot NP-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\dfrac{MN^2}{NP(MN+NP)}

2. Point N lies to the right from point P, then MP + PN = MN.  Consider needed difference:

\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP+PN}{NP}-\dfrac{MP+PN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP}{NP}+1-1-\dfrac{NP}{MP}=\dfrac{MP^2-NP^2}{NP\cdot MP}

3. Point N lies to the left from point M, then NM + MP = NP. Consider needed difference:

\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{MN+MP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN(MN+MP)}{MP(MN+MP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN^2-MN\cdot MP}{MP(MN+MP)}=\dfrac{-MN^2}{MP(MN+MP)}

Answer:

A) x = (-8log(6)-2log(17))/(-2log(17)+log(6))

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the logarithm of the equation, you have ...

(x+8)log(6) = (2x-2)log(17)

Subtracting the right side from the equation gives ...

x(log(6) -2log(17)) +8log(6)+2log(17) = 0

Subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...

x = -(8log(6) +2log(17))/(log(6) -2log(17)) . . . . . matches selection A

___

You don't need to work out the whole solution to determine the correct answer choice. Once you take the initial log, you find that the x-coefficient includes a multiplier of 2log(17). This term only appears in the denominator of choice A. (The value of x will be found after dividing by the x-coefficient, so you know this must show up in the denominator of the answer.)
