6 0

Answer:

x=104

Step-by-step explanation:

 2/5(x-4)=20

2/5x-8/5=20

      2/5x=20+8/5

              =21/3/5

            x=21/3/5÷2/5

              =104

Dr. Gonzalez is considering joining the Garden Club. If he pays a $25 membership fee, he
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

In the Garden Club the cost will be a fixed fee of $25 and $10 for each rosebush, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:

C1(X) = $25 + $10*X

While in the local nursery there is no initial cost, and each rosebush costs $15, so if he buys X rosebushes, the total cost will be:

C2(X) = $15*X

Now, let's find the value of X where C1 and C2 are equal, this is:

$25 + $10*X = $15*X

$25 = $15*X - $10*X = $5*X

X = 25/5 = 5

This means that if he buys 5 rosebushes, he will pay the same amount in both places.

If he buys less than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the local nursery (as it has a bigger slope, but no initial fee)

If he buys more than 5 rosebushes, he will pay less in the Garden club (because it has a smaller slope)

A population of insects increases at a rate of 1.5% per day. About how long will it take the population to double?
never [62]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

46.6 days

Explanation:

The general form for exponential growth is

A=p(1+r)^t, where A is the total amount, p is the initial amount, r is the percent of growth, and t is the amount of time (in this case, days).

We do not know the initial amount, the total amount, or the amount of time.  We do know that r, the percent of growth, is 1.5%; 1.5% = 1.5/100 = 0.015:

A=p(1+0.015)^t

We also know we want the total amount, A, to be twice that of the initial amount, p:

2p = p(1+0.015)^t&#10;\\&#10;2p=p(1.015)^t

Divide both sides by p:

\frac{2p}{p}=\frac{p(1.015)^t}{p}&#10;\\&#10;\\ 2=1.015^t

Using logarithms to solve this,

\log_{1.015}(2)=t&#10;\\&#10;\\46.6=t

If T (n) =6-1 what is the 1st term.
Mariulka [41]
T(n)=6-1=5
that means all terms are 5 because n does not appear on the right hand side.

However, if T(n)=6n-1, then
first term = T(1)=6(1)-1=5,
but second term T(2)=6(2)-1=11...

Solve this equation with substitution method :-<br> x+5 = 3 (y+5)<br> x-5 = 7 (y-5)
Damm [24]
From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10

Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40
