Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
First isolate 
by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation.
That gives you 
.
From here, since x is being divided by 2, multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
So <em>x = 10</em>.
Work is attached in the image below.
Composite is a number that is NOT prime. So we want to find an odd perfect square that IS prime to be a counterexample.
√36 = Not odd
√49 = 7 Factors only 1 * 7 so it is prime
√81 = 9 Factors 1, 3, 9 composite
√225 = 15 Factors 1,3, 5,9,15, 25, 45, 75, 225 composite
Counterexample for 2∧n - 1 Is prime
2^6 - 1 = 64 - 1 = 63 NOT PRIME Factors are: 1, 3, 7, 9,21, 63
2^5 - 1 = 32 - 1 = 31 Prime
2^3 - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 Prime
2^2 - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3 Prime
<h3>Answer: y = (1/2)x+3</h3>
slope = 1/2, y intercept = 3
==============================================================
Work Shown:
Pick any two points you want on the line.
I'll pick the two points (0,3) which is the y intercept and also the point (2,4).
------
Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (0,3) and (x2,y2) = (2,4)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 3)/(2 - 0)
m = 1/2 is the slope
slope = rise/run = 1/2
rise/run = 1/2 means rise = 1 and run = 2.
This means we go up 1 unit each time we move to the right 2 units.
-----
Since the slope is m = 1/2 and the y intercept is b = 3, we can say
y = mx+b
y = (1/2)x+3
this is the same as y = 0.5x+3 since 1/2 = 0.5
