Well, y=ny
2(y-1)=ny
(where ny is not-yellow)
You get y=2y-2 or y=2. You had two yellow birds and two other types.

What is the true solution to the equation below?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The solution is:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$lne^{lnx}+lne^{lnx}^{^2}=2ln8$

$\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)}\right)+\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)\cdot \:2}\right)=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \:log_a\left(a^b\right)=b$

$\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)}\right)=\ln \left(x\right),\:\space\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)2}\right)=\ln \left(x\right)2$

$\ln \left(x\right)+\ln \left(x\right)\cdot \:2=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:\ln \left(x\right)+2\ln \left(x\right)=3\ln \left(x\right)$

$3\ln \left(x\right)=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3$

$\frac{3\ln \left(x\right)}{3}=\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}$

$\ln \left(x\right)=\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}.....A$

Solving the right side of the equation A.

$\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}$

As

$\ln \left(8\right):\quad 3\ln \left(2\right)$

Because

$\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Rewrite\:}8\mathrm{\:in\:power-base\:form:}\quad 8=2^3$

⇒ $\ln \left(2^3\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \log _a\left(x^b\right)=b\cdot \log _a\left(x\right)$

$\ln \left(2^3\right)=3\ln \left(2\right)$

So

$\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}=\frac{2\cdot \:3\ln \left(2\right)}{3}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:3=6$

$=\frac{6\ln \left(2\right)}{3}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{6}{3}=2$

$=2\ln \left(2\right)$

So, equation A becomes

$\ln \left(x\right)=2\ln \left(2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \:a\log _c\left(b\right)=\log _c\left(b^a\right)$

$=\ln \left(2^2\right)$

$=\ln \left(4\right)$

$\ln \left(x\right)=\ln \left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule:\:\:If}\:\log _b\left(f\left(x\right)\right)=\log _b\left(g\left(x\right)\right)\:\mathrm{then}\:f\left(x\right)=g\left(x\right)$

$x=4$

Therefore, the solution is

$x=4$

As we know that
Fx = Fcos30.0deg
<span>60.0N = Fcos30.0deg </span>
<span>F = 60.0N/cos30.0deg </span>
<span>F = 69.3 N
</span><span> Fy = Fsin30.0deg </span>
<span>Fy = 69.3 N sin 30.0 deg </span>

Solve for W: P=2L + 2W<br><br>A. W=P-L<br>B. W= 1/2P - L<br>C. W= 1/2 P + L<br>D. W= 2P - L

svetlana [45]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

$P=2L+2W$

$P-2L=2W$ (Subtract 2L from both sides of the equation)

$2W=P-2L$ (Symmetric Property of Equality)

$W=\frac{P-2L}{2}$ (Divide both sides of the equation by 2)

$W=\frac{P}{2} -\frac{2L}{2}$ ("Split" the fractions)

$W=\frac{1}{2}P-L$ (Simplify)

Hope this helps!
