Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x/3) + 10 = (x/5) + (36/5)

15*[(2x/3) + 10 = (x/5) + (36/5)] [Multiply both sides by 15 in order to convert the fractions to whole numbers]

(15/3)*2x +15*10 = (15/5)x + (15/5)*36

5*2x + 150 = 3x + 3*36

10x +150 = 3x + 108

7x = -42

x = -6

===

Check:

Does (2x/3) + 10 = (x/5) + (36/5) work for x = -6?

(2(-6)/3) + 10 = (-6/5) + (36/5) ?

-4 + 10 = (30/5) ?

6 = 6 YES

What is the value of a when we rewrite 8^x as a^-x/9

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$a = \frac{1}{134217728}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$8^x = a^{-x/9}$

Required

Find a

Take log of both sides

$log(8^x) = log(a^{-x/9})$

Apply law of logarithm

$x\ log(8) = (-x/9) log(a)$

Divide both sides by a

$log(8) = -\frac{1}{9} log(a)$

Multiply both sides by -9

$-9\ log(8) = log(a)$

Apply law of logarithm

$log(8^{-9}) = log(a)$

Cancel out log

$8^{-9} = a$

Rewrite as:

$a = 8^{-9}$

Apply law of indices

$a = \frac{1}{8^9}$

$a = \frac{1}{134217728}$
