Carmel would need 7 gas tanks. (2,240 ÷ 320 = 7)
Carmel would need $273 because since she needs $39 dollars for one gas tank, you would have to multiply that by 7. (39 x 7 = $273)
Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.


Drop the exponents:

Expand the right side:

Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :


Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:



You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,

If the numbers after the decimal terminate, yes, it's rational.
9.521521521 = 9,521,521,521 / 1,000,000,000
If they don't terminate, but the pattern continues (which I suspect is the case here), yes, it's still rational.
If <em>x</em> = 9.521521521…, then
1000<em>x</em> = 9521.521521521…
Subtract <em>x</em> from this to eliminate the fractional part:
1000<em>x</em> - <em>x</em> = 9521.521521521… - 9.521521521…
999<em>x</em> = 9512
<em>x</em> = 9512/999
If they don't terminate, but the pattern does <em>not</em> continue, meaning the next few digits could be something random like
9.521521521<u>19484929271283583457</u>…
then the number would be irrational.
Answer:
15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadrilateral ABCD has a scale facter of 2.5 over the quadrilateral EFGH. The order of ABCD is 60, 40, 30, and x, EFGH has y, z, 12, and 6.
6 times the scale factor of 2.5 is 15, the answer.
Answer:
y=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
7(y + 2) – (4y – 10)
=7y+14-4y+10
=3y+24
3y=-24
y=-8
