Answer:
17, 19, 21
Step-by-step explanation:
x = first number
x+2 = second number
x+4 = third number
4x + 3(x+2) + 2(x+4) = 167
simplify:
4x + 3x + 6 + 2x + 8 = 167
combine like terms:
9x + 14 = 167
subtract 14 from each side of the equation:
9x = 153
divide both sides by 9:
x = 17
Answer:
I do not see the model, but based on what you are telling me, I believe that both the fractions are equal is what is being shown. They are, in other words, equivalent fractions
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>To solve, we need to isolate </em><em>x</em><em>.</em>
<em>Start by moving the </em><em>20</em><em> to the other side by subtracting it from both sides.</em>
2x = 8
<em>Since </em><em>x</em><em> is being multiplied by </em><em>2</em><em>, we need to </em><u><em>divide</em></u><em> both sides by </em><em>2</em><em> to move it to the other side.</em>
x = 4
The given formula is f(x) = 20(1.2)^x
The formula is the starting amount multiplied by 1 + the percentage raised to the number of weeks.
A) the percent increase is 20% ( 1.2 in the formula is 1 +20% as a decimal)
B) the original amount is $20
C) for 2 weeks, replace x with 2 and solve:
20(1.2)^2
20(1.44) = $28.80
After 2 weeks the coupon is $28.80
D) To solve for the number of weeks (x) set the equation equal to $100:
100 = 20(1.2)^x
Divide both sides by 20:
5 = 1.2^x
Take the natural logarithm of both sides:
ln(5) = ln(1.2^x)
Use the logarithm rule to remove the exponent:
ln(5) = x ln(1.2)
Divide both sides by ln(1.2)
x = ln(5) / ln(1.2)
Divide:
X = 8.83
At 8.83 weeks the coupon would be $100, so after 9 weeks the coupon would be greater than $100
The answer is 9 weeks.
