5^{x+1}-5^{x+2}=-2500. Find x

Mathematics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

{5}^{(x + 1)}  -  {5}^{(x + 2)}  =  - 2500 \\

divide all sides by -1:

{5}^{(x + 2)}  - 5 {}^{(x + 1)}  = 2500

from law of indices:

( {5}^{x} . {5}^{2} ) - ( {5}^{x} . {5}^{1} ) = 2500

factorise out 5^x:

{5}^{x} ( {5}^{2}  -  {5}^{1} ) = 2500 \\  {5}^{x} (20) = 2500 \\  {5}^{x}  = 125 \\  {5}^{x}  =  {5}^{3}  \\ x = 3

solve using a system of equations. a pharmacist wants to mix two solutions to obtain 350 cc of a solution that has a 14% concent
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

105 cc of 7% solution

245 cc of 17% solution

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = volume of 7% solution, and y = volume of 17% solution, then:

x + y = 350

0.07x + 0.17y = 0.14(350)

Solve with substitution:

0.07x + 0.17(350 − x) = 0.14(350)

0.07x + 59.5 − 0.17x = 49

10.5 = 0.10x

x = 105

y = 245

I think it’s b but I’m not sure
laila [671]
No, its D

Just look at the rounds mentioned and subtract the scores from higher round with lower round.

Look at A: round 2 score - round 1 score = -2?
-3 -1 = -4 change, not -2 change so it is wrong

Look at B: round 3 score - round 1 score =-1?
-2-1 =-3 change, not -1 change so it is wrong

Look at C: round 3 score - round 2 score =-1?
-2 -(-3) = 1 change, not -1 change so it is wrong

Look at D: round 3 score - round 1 score =-3?
-2-1 = -3 change, matches with -3 so it is correct.

Ratio Question;
SashulF [63]

*Given

Money of Phoebe            - 3 times as much as Andy

Money of Andy                - 2 times as much as Polly

Total money of Phoebe,  - £270

   Andy and Polly

*Solution

Let

B - Phoebe's money

A - Andy's money

L - Polly's money

1. The money of the Phoebe, Andy, and Polly, when added together would total £270. Thus,

                 B + A + L  = £270                     (EQUATION 1)

2. Phoebe has three times as much money as Andy and this is expressed as

 

                 B = 3A

3. Andy has twice as much money as Polly and this is expressed as

                 A = 2L                           (EQUATION 2)

4. This means that Phoebe has ____ as much money as Polly,

                B = 3A

                B = 3 x (2L)

                B = 6L                            (EQUATION 3)

This step allows us to eliminate the variables B and A in EQUATION 1 by expressing the equation in terms of Polly's money only.

5. Substituting B with 6L, and A with 2L, EQUATION 1 becomes,

                 6L + 2L + L = £270

                               9L = £270

                                 L = £30

So, Polly has £30.

6. Substituting L into EQUATIONS 2 and 3 would give us the values for Andy's money and Phoebe's money, respectively.

                 A = 2L                          

                 A = 2(£30)

                 A = £60

Andy has £60

                 B = 6L                        

                 B = 6(£30)

                 B = £180

Phoebe has £180

Therefore, Polly's money is £30, Andy's is £60, and Phoebe's is £180.
