\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = 3

____________________________________

\large \tt Solution  \: :

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  log_{2}(x - 1)  log_{2}(x + 5)  = 4

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  log_{2} \{(x - 1)(x + 5) \} = 4

[ log (x) + log (y) = log (xy) ]

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: ( x - 1)(x + 5) =  {2}^{4}

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  {x}^{2}  + 5x - x - 5 =  16

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  {x}^{2}  + 4x - 5 - 16 = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  {x}^{2}  + 4x -21 = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  {x}^{2}  + 7x - 3x - 21 = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:  x(x + 7) - 3(x + 7) = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: (x + 7)(x - 3) = 0

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x =  - 7 \:  \: or \:  \: x = 3

The only possible value of x is 3, since we can't operate logarithm with a negative integer in it.

\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = 3

Answer:

$23.80 per pair, $190.4 for 8 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

a. assuming each pair of jeans is the same price, just divide the total by 3. the price per pair is 71.40/3, which is $23.80 per pair

b. simply multiply the price of one pair of jeans, as found above, by 8. 23.80*8 is $190.4 for 8 jeans

hope this helped!

If someone can answer this and explain it, I would really appreciate it, thanks.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Now since the lines are parrarel, the intersection points are alternate to each other. Therefore, A = B.

Solve:

8x + 2 = 14x - 76

2 + 76 = 6x

78 = 6x

x = 13
