5x+17=8x-31

-5x to both sides

17=3x-31

+31 to both sides

48=3x

48 divided by 3

x=16

RS=5(16)+17

RS=97

astraxan [27]

Answer:

18 million kilometers in one min. and 0.3 million kilometers in one second

Step-by-step explanation:

so the one min. is easy because all you have to do is take 180 and divide it by 10 and you get 18 million kilometers in one min. and then you would take 18 and divide it by 60 and you would get 0.3 million kilometers in one second

What is the value of x if g^x-1-2= 25?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Third option: x=\frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The correct exercise is attached.</h3>

The equation given is:

9^{x-1}-2=25

 The steps to find the value of "x" are shown below:

1. Add 2 to both sides of the equation:

9^{x-1}-2+2=25+2\\\\9^{x-1}=27

2. Descompose 9 and 27 into their prime factors:

9=3*3=3^2\\27=3*3*3=3^3

3. Substitute them into the equation:

3^{2(x-1)}=3^3

4. Knowing that If a^n=b^m, then n=m, we get:

2(x-1)=3

5. Apply Distributive property:

2x-2=3

6. Add 2 to both sides:

2x-2+2=3+2\\\\2x=5

7. Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\\\\x=\frac{5}{2}

Norma Jean makes $25 per hour. She works 35 hours per week. She gets a commission of 15% on her total sales. How much should Nor
TEA [102]

Answer:

$24166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

$25 per hour and works 35 hours per week

Norma Jean makes 35 * 25  (<em>without sales) = </em>$875

<em> </em>Total commission made by Norma<em> </em>= 4500-875 = $3625

<em>let total number of sales by Norma be x</em>

15% is the same as 15/100

<em>so </em>(15/100) * x =3625 <em> multiplying both sides by 100</em>

15x = 362500<em> making x subject of formula</em>

x = 362500/15

x = 24 166.67

Norma should sell total items worth $24166.67
