Logx (8x-3) - logx 4 = 2
logx [(8x-3)/4] = 2
x^2=(8x-3)/4
4x^2=4(8x-3)/4
4x^2=8x-3
4x^2-8x+3=8x-3-8x+3
4x^2-8x+3=0
4(4x^2-8x+3=0)
(4^2)(x^2)-8(4x)+12=0
(4x)^2-8(4x)+12=0
(4x-2)(4x-6)=0
2(4x/2-2/2)2(4x/2-6/2)=0
4(2x-1)(2x-3)=0
4(2x-1)(2x-3)/4=0/4
(2x-1)(2x-3)=0
Two options:
1) 2x-1=0
2x-1+1=0+1
2x=1
2x/2=1/2
x=1/2
2) 2x-3=0
2x-3+3=0+3
2x=3
2x/2=3/2
x=3/2
Answer: Two solutions: x=1/2 and x=3/2
So, it says x + y = -2
we just plug in the numbers so,
2 + - 4 = -2
This equation is true and can also be written as
2 - 4 = -2
It also then says that 2x - y = 8
Again, you just plug in the numbers
2 * 2 - (-4) = 8
This equation is true and can also be writen as,
2*2 + 4 = 8
let's make p stand for popcorn and d for drinks. Using those variables, we can create our equations:
2p + 3d = 18.25
4p + 2d = 27.50
From this, we can use substitution or elimination to solve:
For substitution, in the second equations, we could factor out a 2, divide both sides by 2, and then move the left over 2p to the other side to isolate d to put into the first equation.
For elimination, we can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can remove the 4p and focus on solving for d.
I'll be using elimination in this case:
-2(2p + 3d = 18.25) --> -4p - 6d = -36.50
-4p - 6d = -36.50
4p + 2d = 27.50
-4d = -9.00
d = 2.25
4p + 2 * 2.25 = 27.50
4p + 4.50 = 27.50
4p = 23.00
p = 5.75
Now let's check our answer:
2 * 5.75 + 3 * 2.25 = 18.25
11.50 + 6.75 = 18.25
18.25 = 18.25
So drinks cost $2.25 and popcorn $5.75
The answer is C.
The y-intercept is 1, the slope is -1/3, and the shaded area is under the graph because y is LESS than -x/3 + 1.
((p^2)-pq) - ((q^2)-pq)
(p^2) - (q^2) - 2pq
