she bought 10 pencils and 5 erasers

Let x represent the number of pencils and y represent the number of erasers.

Gabby wants to spend exactly $2.00 on pencils and erasers, hence:

0.15x - 0.1y = 2        (1)

Therefore x = 10 and y = 5

Therefore she bought 10 pencils and 5 erasers.

Two Parallel lines are intersected by a transversal /1 and /2 are alternate exterior angles. The measure of /1 is (5x - 16) the
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

C. m/1=m/2=54

Step-by-step explanation:

these two angles are equal hence:

5x-16=4x-2=-16+2 =-14

4x-5x=-x

-x=-14=x=14

then you substitute the value of 'x' with 14

therefore:(5×14-16)=54

(4×14-2)=54

m/1=m/2=54

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by gi
GuDViN [60]

The time that rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second is 10.43 seconds

Given the equation representing the height reached by a rocket as:

y = -16x^2 + 157x + 104

The rocket will hit the ground when y = 0. Substituting y = 0 into the expression to get x;

0 = -16x^2 + 157x + 104\\16x^2 - 157x - 104 = 0\\

On factorizing:

x = 10.43 seconds

Hence the time that rocket will hit the ground, to the nearest 100th of second is 10.43 seconds

Can someone please help me solve this logarithm equation
solmaris [256]

Answer:

x=\frac{33}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Orginal equation:

log_2(x+1)-log_2(x-4)=3

So lets do this step by step.

First, lets add log_2(x-4) to both sides of the equation!

This gives us:

log_2(x+1)=3+log_2(x-4)

Then, when we put this into exponential form, we get:
2^{3+log_2\left(x-4\right)}=\left(x+1\right)

This then equals:

8(x-4) = x-1

This can be simplfied into:

8x-32 = x+1

Then we can add 32 to both sides, and subtract x from both sides to get the variable and number each on their owns ide:

7x=33

Finally, we can divide 33 by 7 to get:
x=\frac{33}{7}

Hope this helps! :3
