Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

In(x-1) = In(6) - In(x)

In(x-1) + In(x) = In(6)

In((x-1)x) = In(6)

In(x^2-x) = In(6)

x^2-x=6

x^2-x-6=0

x^2+2x-3x-6=0

x(x+2)-3(x+2)=0

(x-3)(x+2)=0

x=3 because x=-2 need to be cancel out

Scrat [10]

Answer:

m = 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard equation of y = mx + b, m is the slope. In this situation, the slope is the price paid per mile.

To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). I will use the points (3, 8.25) & (11, 26.25)

Plug in these values:

(26.25 - 8.25) / (11 - 3)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (18) / (8)

Simplify the fraction.

18/8

= 9/4

This is your slope.

In a dollar value, it is 9/4 of a dollar, or $2.25 per mile.

Eli wants to plant 45 sunflower plants, 81 corn plants and 63 tomato plants in his garden. If he put the same number of plants i

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you would use the GCF

Find the GCF of 45, 81, 63

GCF(45, 81, 63) = 9

45 = 9 * 5

81 = 9 *9

63= 9 * 7

Since 5, 9, 7 have no common factors, the GCF has to be 9.

This means that the greatest number of plants he can put in each row is 9.

The number of rows he uses for each plant will (obviously) vary.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$30,600

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hectare = 10,000 $m^2$

0.36 hectare = 0.36 * 10000 $m^2$ = 3600 $m^2$

She pays $8.50 per square meter. Thus, the total cost is:

$3600 * 8.50 = \$30,600$

Answer: $30,600
