Answer:

One solution

Step-by-step explanation:

First, organize the equations by moving y to the left hand side:

5x + 2y = 6, subtract 5x from both sides and we get: 2y=6-5x

3y = 2x + 9 is already done

Next, set the coeficcient of both y values equal to the least common multiple of 2 and 3 which is 6:

2y=6-5x multiply both sides by 3, 6y = 18-15x

3y=2x+9 multiply both sides by 2, 6y = 4x+18

Substitute y on both sides and we get 18-15x=4x+18

Simplify that and you get 19x=0, x equals 0, so there is one solution

Answer:

24/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x : 9

(8 : 3)×3

5x : 9

24 : 9

5x = 24

x = 24/5 = 4/4/5

A researcher decides to determine if the type of writing utensil that a student uses while doing their math affects their accura

alexandr1967 [171]

Since the variable type of writing utensil assumes labels and not numbers, it is classified as qualitative.

<h3>What are qualitative and quantitative variables?</h3>

Qualitative variables: Assumes labels or ranks.

Quantitative variables: Assume numerical values.

In this problem, the type of writing utensil has 4 labels: regular pencil, mechanical pencil, pen, whatever.

Hence, since the variable assumes labels and not numbers, it is classified as qualitative.

Find the logarithmic function y = logbx that passes through the points

katovenus [111]

$b\in(0,\ 1)\ \cup\ (1,\ \infty)\\x > 0\\y\in\mathbb{R}\\--------------------------\\\\y=\log_bx\\\\For\ (1,\ 0)\to x=1,\ y=0.\ Substitute:\\\\\log_b1=0\to b^0=1\to b\in(0,\ 1)\ \cup\ (1,\ \infty)\\\\For\ (116,\ 2)\to x=116,\ y=2.\ Substitute:\\\\\log_b116=2\to b^2=116\to b=\sqrt{116}\\\to b=\sqrt{4\cdot29}\to b=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt{29}\to b=2\sqrt{29}\\\\For\ (4,\ -1)\to x=4,\ y=-1.\ Substitute:\\\\\log_b4=-1\to b^{-1}=4\to b=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Different values of b.

<h3>Answer: There is no logarithmic function whose graph goes through given points.</h3><h3 />

Maybe the second point is $\left(\dfrac{1}{16},\ 2\right)$

Substitute:

$\log_b\dfrac{1}{16}=2\to b^2=\dfrac{1}{16}\to b=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{16}}\to b=\dfrac{1}{4}$

<h3>Then we have the answer:</h3>

$\boxed{y=\log_{\frac{1}{4}}x}$
