Can someone please show how to solve this ln(5x-1)+ln(x-6)=ln6 ???

When you add ln, you multiply
ln((5x-1)(x-6)=ln6 do now FOIL
ln(5x^2-30x-x+6)=ln6
therefore
5x^2-31x+6=6 and
5x^2-31x=0 furthermore
x(5x-31)=0
one solution is 0, which we will reject
the other solution is 5x=31
x=31/5

Ln(5x - 1) + ln(x - 6) = ln(6)
ln((5x - 1)(x - 6)) = ln(6)
 ln(5x(x - 6) - 1(x - 6) = ln(6)
ln(5x(x) - 5x(6) - 1(x) - 1(-6)) = ln(6)
ln(5x² - 30x - x + 6) = lm(6)
ln(5x² - 31x + 6) = ln(6)
 5x² - 31x + 6 = 6
5x² - 31x + 6 - 6 = 6 - 6
 5x² - 31x + 0 = 0
x = -(-31) +/- √((-31)² - 4(5)(0))
 2(5)
x = 31 +/- √(961 - 0)
 10
x = 31 +/- √(961)
 10
x = 31 +/- 31
 10
x = 31 + 31 x = 31 - 31
 10 10
x = 62 x = 0
 10 10
x = 6²/₅ x = 0

Which statement best describes the effect of replacing the function f(x) = 2x + 2 with the function g(x) = 2x - 3?

FrozenT [24]

The correct answer is: The graph shifts 5 units right

Explanation:
Below is the graph attached of both the equations:

Red line: Represents f(x) = 2x + 2.
Blue line: Represents g(x) = 2x - 3.

As you can see in the graph that g(x) is shifted 5 units right to f(x).

If you move towards right by 1 unit, you have to subtract 1 from f(x) until you reach g(x) like:
2x + 2 - 1 = 2x + 1 (1 unit)
2x + 1 - 1 = 2x (1 unit)
2x - 1 = 2x - 1 (1 unit)
2x - 1 -1 = 2x - 2 (1 unit)
2x -2 - 1 = 2x -3 (1 unit)

Total 5 units.

Hence the correct answer is the graph shifts 5 units right.

40% of 125 is what number?

Hatshy [7]

The answer is 32

Solution for 40 is what percent of 125:

40:125*100 =

( 40*100):125 =

4000:125 = 32

Now we have: 40 is what percent of 125 = 32

Question: 40 is what percent of 125?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 125 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=125$100%=125.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=40$x%=40.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=125(1)$100%=125(1).

$x\%=40(2)$x%=40(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{125}{40}$
100%
x%=
125
40

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{40}{125}$
x%
100%=
40
125

$\Rightarrow x=32\%$⇒x=32%

Therefore, $40$40 is $32\%$32% of $125$125.
