Answer:

c. x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

4^x = 8^(x − 1)

4 = 2^2

8 = 2^3

2^2^x = 2^3^(x-1)

We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)

2^(2x) = 2^(3*(x-1))

2^(2x) = 2^(3x-3)

The bases are the same so the exponents are the same

2x = 3x-3

Subtract 3x from each side

2x-3x = 3x-3-3x

-x = -3

x =3

Answer:

c. x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4^x = 8^(x-1)

2²^x = 2³^(x-1)

2^(2x) = 2^(3x-3)

2x = 3x - 3

x = 3

Answer:

Solution of equation ( x ) = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given with an equation that is 4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 ). And we are asked to solve this equation that means we have to find the value of x.

Solution : -

 $\quad \longrightarrow \: 4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 )$ 

Step 1 : Removing parenthesis :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - 8 = 18x + 6$

Step 2 : Adding 8 from both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - \cancel{ 8 }+ \cancel{8} = 18x + 6 + 8$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x = 18x + 14$

Step 3 : Subtracting 18 from both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:20x - 18x = \cancel{18x }+ 14 - \cancel{18}$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \:2x = 14$

Step 4 : Dividing with 2 on both sides :

$\quad \longrightarrow \: \frac{ \cancel{ 2}x}{ \cancel{2}} = \cancel{\frac{14}{2} }$

On further calculations we get :

$\quad \longrightarrow \: \blue{\boxed{ \frak{x = 7}}}$

Therefore, solution of this equation is 7 or we can say that value of this equation is 7 .

Verifying : -

We are verifying our answer by substituting value of x in given equation. So ,

4 ( 5x - 2 ) = 2 ( 9x + 3 )

4 [ 5 ( 7 ) - 2 ] = 2 [ 9 ( 7 ) + 3 ]

4 ( 35 - 2 ) = 2 ( 63 + 3 )

4 ( 33 ) = 2 ( 66 )

132 = 132

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence, Verified.

Therefore, our value for x is correct .

There are 550 students at Martin Middle School. One bundred and eighty- seven students walk to school. what percent of the stude

Anvisha [2.4K]

For a question like this, all you have to do is remember that a percentage is simply a fraction expressed as a decimal. So, all we have to do is:
$\frac{187}{550}$ , and then multiply our decimal answer by 100 to get the percentage:
$\frac{187}{550}$ = 0.34
0.34 x 100 = 34
Therefore 34% of the students walk to school.
I hope this helped and remember to please try and understand the maths that got the answer, not just writing the answer down :))

What is the decimal value of 3 quarters and 2 dimes?

Radda [10]

Answer:

0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Quarter = 0.25

Dime = 0.10

0.25+0.25+0.25= 0.75

0.10+0.10= 0.10

0.10+0.75 = 0.95
