5x + 3y = 460
5(x + y = 120)
5x + 5y = 600
Use elimination subtraction
-2y = -140
y = 70
There are 70 student tickets

3^x+2=8^x-1 Solve for x.

zubka84 [21]

I assume the equation is supposed to be

$3^{x+2}=8^{x-1}$

Then we can write

$9\cdot3^x=\dfrac18\cdot8^x\implies\left(\dfrac38\right)^x=\dfrac1{72}$

Take the logarithm of base 3/8 on both sides:

$\log_{3/8}\left(\dfrac38\right)^x=\log_{3/8}\dfrac1{72}$

$\implies x\log_{3/8}\dfrac38=-\log_{3/8}72$

$\implies x=-\log_{3/8}72$

- - -

If the equation is actually $3^x+2=8^x-1$ , I'm afraid it cannot be solved exactly.

3 pounds of lawn seeds cover 1800 ft.². How many 4 pound bags are needed to cover 8400 ft.²

vlada-n [284]

1800/3 = 600
Every pound covers 600 square feet
8400/600 = 14
<span>14/4 = 3.5 (round up) so it would become 4.
</span>

You would need 4 bags.

I hope this helps!

Since you know what 4×5 is you just have to use the same answer
