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
This is how you solve it..
95/n=n
You could put 5 in and get 95/5=19.
The final price is the cost plus the tax.
Since we know the tax and a percent, we can write this as
T = C(1+r)
T = what Graham paid = $87.45
C = cost before tax
r = tax rate expressed as a decimal = .40
Plugging in what we know
87.45 = C (1+.4)
87.45 = C(1.4)
Divide both sides by 1.4
C = $62.46
Answer:
(D)
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 66
