Answer:

-3.5 or -7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pentagons have five sides, so 15x+35

15x+35=5

subtract 35

15x+35-35=5x-35

simplify

15x=5x-35

subtract 5x

15x-5x=5x-35-5x

simplify

10x=-35

divide by 10

$\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{-35}{10}$

simplify

$x=-\frac{7}{2}$ or also -3.5

575.00= 100% 575 divided by 100= 5.75 times 25= 143.75 So then 575.00 - 143.75 = 431.25 (the discount was 143.75, and her new total would be 431.25)

Answer:

$12.5(x + 20) = 460 \\ x + 20 = 460 \div 12.5 \\ x + 20 = 36.8 \\ x = 36.8 - 20 \\ x = 16.8$

Hence, 16.8 miles is your answer

Use the properties of logarithms to prove log, 1000 = log2 10.

Leto [7]

Given:

Consider the equation is:

$\log_81000=\log_210$

To prove:

$\log_81000=\log_210$ by using the properties of logarithms.

Solution:

We have,

$\log_81000=\log_210$

Taking left hand side (LHS), we get

$LHS=\log_81000$

$LHS=\dfrac{\log 1000}{\log 8}$ $\left[\because \log_ab=\dfrac{\log_x a}{\log_x b}\right]$

$LHS=\dfrac{\log (10)^3}{\log 2^3}$

$LHS=\dfrac{3\log 10}{3\log 2}$ $[\because \log x^n=n\log x]$

$LHS=\dfrac{\log 10}{\log 2}$

$LHS=\log_210$ $\left[\because \log_ab=\dfrac{\log_x a}{\log_x b}\right]$

$LHS=RHS$

Hence proved.

If n = -1, which of the following statements is false?

Rainbow [258]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Those lines around n mean it’s talking about absolute value. Absolute value is the positive version of any number. This that -1 would turn into 1. If that’s the case, then |n| < 0 would be false
