Answer:

(0.2)x = 2.

Taking log on both sides

log (0.2)x = log 2.

x log (0.2) = 0.3010, [since log 2 = 0.3010].

x log (2/10) = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - log 10] = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - 1] = 0.3010,[since log 10=1].

x [0.3010 -1] = 0.3010, [since log 2 = 0.3010].

x[-0.699] = 0.3010.

x = 0.3010/-0.699.

x = -0.4306….

x = -0.4 (nearest tenth)

Answer:

Solution:

(0.2)x = 2.

Taking log on both sides

log (0.2)x = log 2.

x log (0.2) = 0.3010, [since log 2 = 0.3010].

x log (2/10) = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - log 10] = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - 1] = 0.3010,[since log 10=1].

x [0.3010 -1] = 0.3010, [since log 2 = 0.3010].

x[-0.699] = 0.3010.

x = 0.3010/-0.699.

x = -0.4306….

x = -0.4 (nearest tenth)

Answer is option (c) -0.4

Answer:

Approach: Difference of Squares Pattern

$4 {x}^{2} - 25 = (2x - 5)(2x + 5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given binomial is:

$4 {x}^{2} - 25$

We can rewrite to obtain:

${(2x)}^{2} - {5}^{2}$

This is a difference of two squares, so we will factor using difference of squares pattern.

Recall that:

${a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = (a + b)(a - )$

If we let

$a = 2x$

and

$b = 5$

Then we can factor the given binomial to obtain:

${2x}^2 - {5}^{2} = (2x - 5)(2x + 5)$

$\therefore4 {x}^{2} - 25 = (2x - 5)(2x + 5)$

Solve the system.<br> y= 22 – 10x + 15<br> y=-10

Yuliya22 [10]

I will try to solve your system of equations.

y=22;−10x+15y=−10

Step: Solvey=22for y:

Step: Substitute22foryin−10x+15y=−10:

−10x+15y=−10

−10x+(15)(22)=−10

−10x+330=−10(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−10x+330+−330=−10+−330(Add -330 to both sides)

−10x=−340

−10x

−10

−340

−10

(Divide both sides by -10)

x=34

(x+2)(2x-5)=56

2x^2-5x+4x-10=56

2x^2-x-10=56

2x^2-x-66=0

2x^2-12x+11x-66=0

2x(x-6)+11(x-6)=0

(2x+11)(x-6)=0, since x is a measurement x>0 so:

x=6cm
