1.3n-0.03=-9 (solve for n) grade lvl. 7

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

-6.9

Discussion:  

1.3n - 0.03 = -9     =>              multiply both sides by 100

130n - 3 = -900 =>

130n = -900 +3 =  -897 =>     add 3 to both sides

n = -897/130  =>

n =  - (69 * 13)/ (10*13) =>

n = - 69/10 = - 6.9

Thank you,

MrB

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!

she was supposed to add the hours(38.5) and multiply the amount of money she earned(7.50) resulting in $288.75 .

correct me if i'm wrong and if it is i'm truly sorry.
