Brice has twice as many stamps in his collection as his friends Anthony and Paul combined. Paul has 32 stamps in his collection Brice has 96 stamps in his collection. How many stamps does Anthony have in his collection? The equation 2(x +32)=96 models this situation. Which choice shows the sequence of operations needed to solve this problem, using both arithmetic and algebra?

a complex number is a number that can be expressed in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, and i is a solution of the equation x2 = −1. because no real number satisfies this equation, i is called an imaginary number. has no real solution, since the square of a real number cannot be negative.

answer is:

1.75 pounds

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
