if 'HOPE' is called 3, ' GOVERNMENT' is called 9, ' PEACEFUL' is called 7, what would HAPPINESS 'be called??

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Identifying the Pattern:

We are told that 'HOPE' is called 3

we can see that there are 4 characters in the word HOPE

So, we can see that the number is one less than the number of characters in the given word

Let's see if the observation we made still holds for the other Words:

We are also told that 'GOVERNMENT' is called 9

the number of characters = 10

Here, we once again notice that the code number is one less than the number of characters in our word

We are Given that 'PEACEFUL' is called 7

the number of characters = 8

Once again, our observation holds true

Hence, our observation holds true for all the words

Therefore, we can say with certainty that the pattern is:

code number = (number of characters of the word) - 1

Code number for 'HAPPINESS':

from the above, we know that:

code number = (number of characters of the word) - 1

we can see that 'HAPPINESS' has 9 words, plugging that value:

code number = 9 - 1

code number for 'HAPPINESS' = 8

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
