Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
Create an equation to represent this, where x is the unknown number.
+ 6 = 18
Solve for x, by first subtracting 6 from both sides:
= 12
Multiply each side by 4:
x = 48
So, the number is 48
Step-by-step explanation:
12:18
12 to 18
12/18 = 2/3
Answer:
h(x) * s(x) = 200(1.05)^(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Our interest equation is s(x) = (1.05)^(x - 1). This is actually a part of a bigger formula for calculating the amount of money accumulated including interest:
A = P(1 + r)^n, where A is the total, P is the principal amount (initial amount), r is the interest rate, and n is the time
Here, we technically already have the (1 + r)^n part; it's just (1.05)^(x - 1). The principle, though, will actually be the 200 because she starts out at $200.
Thus, to combine these, we simply multiply them together to get:
h(x) * s(x) = 200(1.05)^(x - 1)
1/3 ln(<em>x</em>) + ln(2) - ln(3) = 3
Recall that
, so
ln(<em>x</em> ¹ʹ³) + ln(2) - ln(3) = 3
Condense the left side by using sum and difference properties of logarithms:


Then
ln(2/3 <em>x</em> ¹ʹ³) = 3
Take the exponential of both sides; that is, write both sides as powers of the constant <em>e</em>. (I'm using exp(<em>x</em>) = <em>e</em> ˣ so I can write it all in one line.)
exp(ln(2/3 <em>x</em> ¹ʹ³)) = exp(3)
Now exp(ln(<em>x</em>)) = <em>x </em>for all <em>x</em>, so this simplifies to
2/3 <em>x</em> ¹ʹ³ = exp(3)
Now solve for <em>x</em>. Multiply both sides by 3/2 :
3/2 × 2/3 <em>x</em> ¹ʹ³ = 3/2 exp(3)
<em>x</em> ¹ʹ³ = 3/2 exp(3)
Raise both sides to the power of 3:
(<em>x</em> ¹ʹ³)³ = (3/2 exp(3))³
<em>x</em> = 3³/2³ exp(3×3)
<em>x</em> = 27/8 exp(9)
which is the same as
<em>x</em> = 27/8 <em>e</em> ⁹
