Applying log rules leaves us with the following equation:
x^2 + 8 = 6x
Change to standard form and solve using factoring.
x^2 - 6x + 8 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x = 4
x = 2
Hope this helps!

Answer:
b. (1, 3, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or scientific calculator can solve this system of equations for you, or you can use any of the usual methods: elimination, substitution, matrix methods, Cramer's rule.
It can also work well to try the offered choices in the given equations. Sometimes, it can work best to choose an equation other than the first one for this. The last equation here seems a good one for eliminating bad answers:
a: -1 -5(1) +2(-4) = -14 ≠ -18
b: 1 -5(3) +2(-2) = -18 . . . . potential choice
c: 3 -5(8) +2(1) = -35 ≠ -18
d: 2 -5(-3) +2(0) = 17 ≠ -18
This shows choice B as the only viable option. Further checking can be done to make sure that solution works in the other equations:
2(1) +(3) -3(-2) = 11 . . . . choice B works in equation 1
-(1) +2(3) +4(-2) = -3 . . . choice B works in equation 2
Answer is 4 books per minute. 240 (books) divided by 60 (minutes in one hour) equals 4
Alright, so the unknown value here we want to know is the price of one roll of TP. Let's call it "x".
36x=14.99
Divide both sides by 36 to get the price of a single roll.
x=.41638888....
We have to round this to hundredths because we're talking in cents, so...
x=.42
Each roll of toilet paper costs 42 cents.
