-5 - (-7 - 4x) = -2(3x - 4) |use distributive property

-5 -(-7) - (-4x) = (-2)(3x) + (-2)(-4)

-5 + 7 + 4x = -6x + 8

2 + 4x = -6x + 8 |-2

4x = -6x + 6 |+6x

10x = 6 |:10

x = 0.6

List the potential solutions to 2 ln x = 4 ln 2 from least to greatest.

svp [43]

We have to find the potential solutions to $2 ln x = 4 ln 2$ from least to greatest.

Using the properties of ln function.

$a \times ln b = ln b^{a}$

Therefore, we get

$ln x^{2} = ln 2^{4}$

$ln x^{2} = ln 16$

taking antilog on both the sides, we get

$x^{2} = 16$

So, $x = \pm 4$

Therefore, the potential solutions to 2 ln x = 4 ln 2 from least to greatest is -4 and 4.

r Flag For Review A certain city with a population of 132,000 is to be divided into 11 voting districts, and no district is to h

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

$P = \frac{132000}{12}=11000$

So then P =11000 is the minimum that the least populated district could have.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a big total of N = 132000 for the population.

And we know that we divide this population into 11 districts

And we have this info given "no district is to have a population that is more than 10 percent greater than the population of any other district"

Let's assume that P represent our minimum value for a district in the population. The range of possible values for the population of each district would be between P and 1.1 P

The interest on this case is find the minimum value for P and in order to do this we can assume that 1 district present the minimum and the other 10 the maximum value 1.1P in order to find which value of P satisfy this condition, and we have this:

$P + 10 (1.1P) = 12 P= 132000$

$P = \frac{132000}{12}=11000$

So then P =11000 is the minimum that the least populated district could have.

A group of vendors in a city determines that the equation yˆ=11.984x+15.341 models the total number of shorts they will sell eac

Virty [35]

Given the equation of a line of the form: y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
y is the dependent variable while x is the independent variable.

The value c represents the initial value of the situation represented by the line. i.e. the value of the dependent variable (y) when the independent variable (x) is 0.

The value m is the slope and represents the amount with hich the dependent variable increases for each additional increase in the value of the independent variable.

Thus, given the equation: y=11.984x+15.341,
where: y represents the total number of shorts sold each day, and x represents the day’s high temperature in °F.

The slope is 11.984 or approximately 12 and it represents the increase in the number of shorts sold for each additional increase in temperature.

Therefore, the slope of the equation represents in context of the situation that 'The vendors will sell an additional 12 pairs of shorts for every 1° increase in temperature.' (option B)
