Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
log <base a> b = x
means
a^x = b
So
3^2 = x^2+7x+21
x^2 + 7x + 21 - 9 = 0
x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0
(x+3)(x+4)
x = -3 or -4
System: x + y = 44; x = 2y + 2
Solve with substitution: x = 30; y = 14
x + y = 44
x = 2y + 2
Substitute 2y + 2 for x
2y + 2 + y = 44
3y + 2 = 44
Subtract 2 on both sides.
3y = 42
y = 14
Now substitute back in.
x + 14 = 44
Subtract 14 on both sides.
x = 30
