Answer: y = 3x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up two equations and solve the system:

270 = 70x + b

- (150 = 30x + b)

120 = 40x

3 = x

Input "x" into one of the equations and solve for "b":

150 = 30x + b

150 = 30(3) + b

150 = 90 + b

60 = b

Equation: y = 3x + 60

This means that there is a flat fee of $60 plus a rate of $3 per student

Can someone please help me with this logarithm equation!!

enot [183]

Answer:

$\frac{629}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So, our equation is:

$log_5(\frac{2x-4}{5}) = 3$

In exponetial form, this looks like:

$5^3=\frac{2x-4}{5}$

Now lets cube the 5:

$125=\frac{2x-4}{5}$

Next, we can multiply the denominator on the right side by 5:

$625=2x-4$

We need to now get x alone by adding 4 to both sides:

$629=2x$

Finally, we divide by x's coefficent, 2, to get:

$x=\frac{629}{2}$

Hope this helps! :3

What are the potential solutions of log4x+log4(x+6)=2?

lions [1.4K]

The potential solutions of $log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2$ are 2 and -8.

<h3>Properties of Logarithms</h3>

From the properties of logarithms, you can rewrite logarithmic expressions.

The main properties are:

Product Rule for Logarithms - $log_{b}(a*c)=log_{b}a+log_{b}c$
Quotient Rule for Logarithms - $log_{b}(\frac{a}{c} )=log_{b}a-log_{b}c$
Power Rule for Logarithms - $log_{b}(a^c)=c*log_{b}a$

The exercise asks the potential solutions for $log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2$ . In this expression you can apply the Product Rule for Logarithms.

$log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2\\ \\ x*(x+6)=4^2\\ \\ x^2+6x=16\\ \\ x^2+6x-16=0$

Now you should solve the quadratic equation.

Δ= $b^2-4ac=36-4*1*(-16)=36+64=100$ . Thus, x will be $x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-6\pm \:\sqrt{100} }{2\cdot \:1}=\frac{-6\pm \:10}{2}$ . Then:

$x_1=\frac{-6+10}{2}=\frac{4}{2} =2\\ \\ \:x_2=\frac{-6-10}{2}=\frac{-16}{2} =-8$

The potential solutions are 2 and -8.

John’s father is 5 times older than John and John is twice as old as his sister Alice. In two years time, the sum of their ages

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

John’s age is 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> John’s father's age

y -----> John’s age

z -----> John’s sister's age

we know that

$x=5y$ -----> equation A

$y=2z$

$z=y/2$ -----> equation B

$(x+2)+(y+2)+(z+2)=58$

$x+y+z+6=58$

$x+y+z=52$ -----> equation C

Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for y

$5y+y+y/2=52$

Multiply by 2 both sides to remove the fraction

$10y+2y+y=104$

$13y=104$

$y=8$

Find the value of x

$x=5(8)=40$

Find the value of z

$z=8/2=4$

therefore

John’s father's age is 40 years

John’s age is 8 years

John’s sister's age is 4 years
