Find a and b if
2^a×3^b=12​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12=12

Step-by-step explanation:

2a = b

a -3b =12

To solve, set one of the equations equal to zero.  The first equation is actually already set to 0.

b = 2a

Now you can plug this equation into the other one, by substituting the b in the equation with this.

a -3b = 12

a – 3(2a) = 12

Now all you have to do is distribute the 3 (multiply the number outside the parenthesis, 3 in this case, by everything inside).

a – 6a = 12

Combine like terms.  Since we have 1 positive a and 6 negative ones, we subtract the two numbers without the signs

6-1 = 5

And take the sign of the larger number.  Since 6 is large and 6 is negative, we are left with

-5a = 12

Now solve for a, which in this case means dividing both sides by -5

a = -12/5

Simplify

a = -2.4

Now that you have a, it’s easy to find b

b = 2a

b = 2(-2.4)

b= -4.8

Now you check your work by plugging your new a and b into either equation to see if it’s true.

-4.8 = 2(-2.4)

-4.8 = -4.8

And just for laughs let’s try the other equation

 

a -3b =12

-2.4 – 3(-4.8) = 12

Distribute the 3 again.  Remember that when two negative numbers are multiplied they become positive.

-2.4 +14.4 = 12

12 = 12

3. Over the weekend, Jada made three times as much money babysitting than Han did mowing lawns. Jada made an additional $27 selling lemonade. From babysitting and selling lemonade, she has a total of $96. If the equation 3x + 27 = 96 represents this situation, what does the variable x represent?​

Answers

Answer:

X is the amount Han made mowing lawns

because it said that she earned 3xs the amount he did. So you would take what he made times three plus the extra 27 she made from selling lemonade

A quadratic in factored form is given as (x + 5) (2x - 3) = 0, what are the solutions of this given equation?
X = and x =

Answers

Answer:

x = -5, x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two expressions multiplied together is 0, that means that one of the expressions would have to equal 0. This gives us two possible answers. Our two equations are now:

x + 5 = 0

2x - 3 = 0

We will first solve the first one!

To isolate x, we subtract 5 from both sides to get:

x = -5

Onto the second one!

We begin to isolate x by adding 3 to both sides.

2x = 3

Now we divide both sides by 2.

x = 3/2 or 1.5

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we have the equation of the axis of symmetry as;

x = -b/2a

where a is the coefficient of x^2 = 1

b is the coefficient of x which is -14

So, the equation of the axis of symmetry will be;

x = -(-14)/2(1) = 14/2 = 7

So the equation of the axis of symmetry is x =7

Bill is a painter, who has been hired to paint a house.
• He receives an houry rate of $35 an hour.
• The materials Bill had to purchase cost $50 for the job.
• The amount of money Bill makes in profit, after working "x" hours, is modeled by the function:
f(x) = 352 – 50
Determine Bill's profit after working 10 hours.

Answers

Answer: 300

Step-by-step explanation: Math - 35X10-50

I may be wrong sorry!

Replace x with 10 in the given function.

We are seeking f(10).

f(10) = 35(10) - 50

f(10) = 350 - 50

f(10) = 300

After 10 hours, Bill's profit is $300.

A sheet of paper has a perimeter of 39 inches. If the width of the paper is 8.5
inches, what is the length of the sheet of paper?

Answers

Answer:

length of the sheet of paper is 11 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" = short end of paper and let "b" = long end of paper.

Let "p" = perimeter

 

1st equation:   p = 39"

2nd equation:  2a + 2b = p   plug in "39" for diameter;  result:

2nd equation:  2a + 2b = 39

3rd equation:  b = 2a - 6

 

replace "b" in 2nd equation with "2a - 6" from 3rd equation, result:

2a + 2(2a - 6) = 39  simplified to:

2a + 4a - 12 = 39    simplified to:

6a - 12 = 39            simplified to:

6a = 51                   simplified to:

a = 51/6  =  8.5

so, a =  short end of paper = 8.5 inches

 

In 3rd equation (b = 2a - 6), substitute "a" with "8.5"

3rd equation becomes:   b = 2(8.5) - 6    simplified to:

b = 17 - 6  =  11

so, b = long end of paper = 11 inches

 

answer to question is:  dimensions of paper are ---

8.5 inches wide by 11 inches long

Answer:

The answer is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

So perimeter is base+ base+length+length. Therefore you take 8.5+8.5 which is 17 and subtract it from 39 to get 22. You take 22 and divide it by 2 which leaves you with 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of the midpoint of the line segment connecting (8, 1) and (-2, -5) is -2 plus half the horizontal distance from -2 to 8, which is 10, or 5.  We add 5 to -2, obtaining 3 units.

The y-coordinate of the midpoint is found similarly.  The vertical distance between the two given points is 1 - (-5), or 6 units.  Half of that is 3 units.  Adding 3 units to -5 yields -2.

The midpoint is (3, -2).

Thus, the coordinates of the midpoint at (-7, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the unit rate you have to divide the first number by the second number. You divide the first number because it is the gallons you are trying to find PER minute. In this case you are dealing with fractions which means you have to multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second number.

Example 1:

3/4 ÷ 1/2

3/4 x 2/1

= 3/2

= 1 1/2

Example 2:

1 1/2 ÷ 1/2

3/2 ÷ 1/2

3/2 x 2/1
