Part A
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

110 + 10x ; 40x

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

For every visit to Arts museum:

Scenario 1:

Parking fee = $15

Admission fee = $25

Total amount for scenario 1:

If number of visits = x

Total cost = $(15 + 25) × number of visits

Total cost : $40x

With membership :

Price of membership = $110 (one time payment)

Parking fee = $10

Admission fee = $0

Let number of visits = x

Total cost :

Membership fee + (parking fee × number of visits)

$110 + ($10 * x)

= 110 + 10x

B) number of visits for which member cost is less than non-member cost :

Member cost = 110 + 10x

Non member cost = 40x

110 + 10x < 40x

10x - 40x < 110

-30x < 110

x > 3.67

Hence x = 4

Number of visits for which member cost is greater than non member cost is 4

The difference of the square of a number and 28 is equal to 3 times that number
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

- 4, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

Therefore, according to the given condition:

{x}^{2}  - 28 = 3x \\  {x}^{2}  - 3x - 28 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  - 7x + 4x - 28 = 0 \\ x(x - 7) + 4(x - 7) = 0 \\ (x - 7)(x + 4) = 0 \\ x - 7 = 0 \: or \: x + 4 = 0 \\ x = 7 \: or \: x =  - 4 \\

Which expression is equal to 5^4 x 5^8 ? <br><br> A: 5^12<br> B: 5^4<br> C: 5^2<br> D: 5^−4
galben [10]

Something to remember is how to multiply terms with same bases, but different exponents:

a^b \cdot a^c = a^{(b+c)}


Essentially, we add the exponents.


Using the information above, we can find our answer:

5^4 \cdot 5^8 = 5^{(4+8)} = \boxed{5^{12}}


Our answer is \boxed{5^{12}}, or A.
