Your team wins 18 medals at a competition. the metals are gold, silver, and bronze in a ratio of 2: 4: 3. how many of each metal did your team win?

Answer

Find out the how many of each metal did your team win.

To prove

As given

Your team wins 18 medals at a competition.

The metals are gold, silver, and bronze in a ratio of 2:4:3.

Let us assume that x be the scalar multiple of the gold, silver and bronze medal.

Thus

Number of gold medal = 2x

Number of silver medal = 4x

Number of bronze medal = 3x

Than the equation becomes

2x + 4x + 3x = 18

9x = 18

x = 2

Number of gold medal = 2 × 2

                                      = 4

Number of silver medal = 4 × 2

                                       = 8

Number of bronze medal = 3 × 2

                                           = 6

Therefore the number of gold medal are 4, silver medal are 8, bronze medal are 6.

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.

step-by-step explanation:

at each of the parallel lines adjacent angles are supplementary. the angles have special names identifying their positions with respect to the parallel lines and transversal. they are corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, or alternate exterior angles. an angles is congruent to its matched angle.
