We don't know the number she started with, so let's call it x.
<span>Petra started with a number added 3: x + 3
</span>
<span>multiplied the result by 4: 4(x + 3)
</span><span>subtracted 6: 4(x + 3) - 6
</span>
<span>and multiplied that result by 3: 3[4(x + 3) - 6]
</span>
her final answer was 90: <span>3[4(x + 3) - 6] = 90
Now we solve the equation for x.
</span><span>3[4(x + 3) - 6] = 90
</span>
<span>4(x + 3) - 6 = 30
4(x + 3) = 36
x + 3 = 9
x = 6
The number is 6.

F(x) = 5(4)^x is the correct answer.
Multiply both 1/6=11/66, 3/11=9/66. 1/6 is bigger.
Answer: $14,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Room & Board = $11,500
Work - study = $8000
Grant & scholarship = $9500
Tuition fee = $9500
If she pays balance with a student loan, how much will she need to borrow:
Elisha's bill:
Tuition fee and room and board
($9500 + $11500) = $21,000
Elisha's earning:
Work - study and scholarship & grant
($8000 + $9500) = $17500
Therefore,
Amount to borrow per year :
$21,000 - $17,500 = $3500
For four years :
4 × $3,500 = $14,000
We have the rational expression
; to simplify it, we are going to try to find a common factor in the numerator, and, if we are luckily, that common factor will get rid of the denominator
.
Notice that in the denominator all the numbers are divisible by two, so 2 is part of our common factor; also, all the terms have the variable
, and the least exponent of that variable is 1, so
will be the other part of our common factor. Lets put the two parts of our common factor together to get
.
Now that we have our common factor, we can rewrite our numerator as follows:
We are luckily, we have
in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:
We can conclude that the simplified version of our rational function is
.
