Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4

Multiply both sides of (2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4 by 5/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = -4×5/2

5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):

(5×2)/(2×5) (3 x - 4) = -4×5/2

5/2 (-4) = (5 (-4))/2:

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (-4×5)/2

(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4:

3 x - 4 = (-4×5)/2

(-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/2 = -2:

3 x - 4 = 5×-2

5 (-2) = -10:

3 x - 4 = -10

Add 4 to both sides:

3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10

4 - 4 = 0:

3 x = 4 - 10

4 - 10 = -6:

3 x = -6

Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:

(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3

3/3 = 1:

x = (-6)/3

The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:

Answer:  x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

HERE IS HOW YOU COULD SOLVE IT !!

Different ways to solve equations. We have 4 ways of solving one-step equations: Adding, Substracting, multiplication and division. If we add the same number to both sides of an equation, both sides will remain equal.

WHICH THE ANSWER WOULD BE x= -2

If F(x) = log 5 2x, find F^-1(x). a. 5^y=2x b. 5^2y=x c. y = (5^x)/2
gregori [183]

Answer:

y = \frac{5^{x} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

y = log 5 2x

inverse ------> y=x

x = log 5 2y

5^{x} = 2y

y = \frac{5^{x} }{2}
