y = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ 1170 = 25\cdot~3^x\\ \\ \frac{1170}{25} = 3^x\\ \\ \frac{243}{5} = 3^x\\ \\ log\ \frac{243}{5} = log~3^x\\ \\ log~243-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 
 log~3^5-log~5=x~log~3\\ \\ 5~log~3-log~5 = x~log~3\\ \\ 5(0,48)-0,70= 0,48x\\ \\ 2,4-0,7 = 0,48x\\ \\ 1,7=0,48x\\ \\ x=\frac{1,7}{0,48}\\ \\ \large{\boxed{x=3,54\ h}}

What is the equation 8x-3y=6-4x in Stanford form?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

12x - 3y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is written this way: Ax+By=C

However, in this case, we just have to simplify 8x-3y=6-4x, as it is already mostly in standard form.

So, to do this, we have to combine like terms.

The only like terms that can be combined are -4x and 8x.

So, we add 4x to both sides, and we get: 12x - 3y = 6.

Express x in terms of a and b:<br> b−7x=a−b
quester [9]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

b - 7x = a - b....subtract b from both sides

-7x = a - b - b....combine like terms

-7x = a - 2b....divide both sides by -7

x = (a - 2b) / -7....or it could be written as x = -1/7a + 2/7b
