A. Half of the original number\
Answer:
X = 3, -1; B
Step-by-step explanation:
Use log properties, log 5 on both sides, log 5 of 25 is 2 that times the exponent, so 2*x = 2x, and on the other side, log 5 and base of 5 cancels. So 2x = x^2 -3, which can be solved using factoring:
x^2 -2x -3 = (x-3)(x+1) = 0, x=3,-1
The new shower head dispenses 3 gallons of water per minute, as shown in the equation y = 3x.
So, 3 x 8 = 24.
Then, to find out how much he saves each day, you would find how much he used before,
11 x 8 = 88
Next we want to see how much Nathan saved, so we subtract the total,
88 - 24 = 64
Nathan saved 64 gallons.
