Answer:

The answer is eight.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that x is eight. That means we can plug eight in for x. If we do that we get 2^8-5. 8-5 is three, so our problem becomes 2^3, which is 8.

Bytecoin is a new cryptocurrency that is currently valued at $243 per coin. You want to make an investment and purchase 1 Byteco

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth rate of the coin is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential growth which is expressed as

y = ab^x

y = b(1 + r)^ t

Where

y represents the value of the coin after x months.

x represents the number of months.

a represents the initial value of the coin.

b represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

a = 243

b = 1 + 15/100 = 1 + 0.15 = 1.15

Therefore, the exponential expression to determine the number of months, x it will take for the coin to attain a certain value, y is expressed as

y = 243(1.15)^x

If y = 1000, it means that

1000 = 243(1.15)^x

1000/243 = 1.15^x

4.115 = 1.15^x

Taking log of both sides, it becomes

log 4.115 = xlog1.15

0.614 = 0.061x

x = 0.614/0.061

x = 10 months

It will take 10 months

simplify the following expression: (x+7/4x) + (5/x-8) I also attached a photo of the problem if you get confused on how I typed

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

$\frac{x^{2} + 19x - 56}{4 {x}^{2} - 32x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by making the denominators of both fraction the same. This can be done by multiplying one fraction's denominator by the other.

After simplifying and combining the two fractions together, check if the numerator can be factorised such that there is a common factor in the denominator and numerator. In this case, the numerator cannot be factorised.

Lastly, expand the denominator.

$\frac{x + 7}{4x} + \frac{5}{x - 8}$

$= \frac{(x + 7)(x - 8)}{4x(x - 8)} + \frac{5(4x)}{4x(x - 8)}$

$= \frac{x(x) + x( - 8) + 7(x) + 7( - 8) + 20x}{4x(x - 8)}$

$= \frac{ {x}^{2} - 8x + 7x - 56 + 20x }{4x(x - 8)}$

$= \frac{ {x}^{2} + 19x - 56}{4x(x - 8)}$

$= \frac{ {x}^{2} + 19x - 56}{4 {x}^{2} - 32x}$

If i have 2 apple and get 3 more then lose 2 how many do i have left

nydimaria [60]

You have 2 apples, get 3 more, and then lose 2 of them.

So, you HAVE 2 apples, and if you get 3 more, you can add it to the 2.
$2 + 3 = 5$

In total at the moment, you have 5 apples. Now, you lose 2 more. We can subtract that from our total number of apples.
$5 - 2 = 3$

We now know that you are left with 3 apples.
