Step-by-step explanation:

5x +2 = 182 -4x

5x+4x = 182-2

9x = 180

x = 180/9

x = 20

4y +2 = 5x +2

4y = 5x

4y = 5(20)

4y = 100

y = 100/4

y = 25

A House needs to some maintenance one sink is dripping water every 10 minutes and the other sink is dripping every 12 minutes if

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using Lowest Common Factor method

Find and list multiples of each number of minutes( 12 and 10 minutes) until the first common multiple is found. This is the lowest common multiple.

Multiples of 10:

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

Multiples of 12:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84

Therefore,

LCM(10, 12) = 60

The number if minutes until they both drip again is 60 minutes

3^x= 3*2^x solve this equation

kompoz [17]

In the equation

$3^x = 3\cdot 2^x$

divide both sides by $2^x$ to get

$\dfrac{3^x}{2^x} = 3 \cdot \dfrac{2^x}{2^x} \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac32\right)^x = 3$

Take the base-3/2 logarithm of both sides:

$\log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac32\right)^x = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies x \log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac 32\right) = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = \log_{3/2}(3)}$

Alternatively, you can divide both sides by $3^x$ :

$\dfrac{3^x}{3^x} = \dfrac{3\cdot 2^x}{3^x} \\\\ \implies 1 = 3 \cdot\left(\dfrac23\right)^x \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac23\right)^x = \dfrac13$

Then take the base-2/3 logarith of both sides to get

$\log_{2/3}\left(2/3\right)^x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac23\right) = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(3^{-1}\right) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = -\log_{2/3}(3)}$

(Both answers are equivalent)
