Start by dividing both sides by 2 to get

. Doing the math on the right, keeping in mind that logs have an unwritten base of 10, gives us

. Rewriting this in exponential form is

. That means that x = 8. Not negative, only positive.
Answer:
D. Lines coincide
Step-by-step explanation:
On dividing y/2y and 4/8 and x/2x you get 1/2. Since 1/2 is common answer for all the parts, lines will coincide.

Answer:
- -51
- -30
- -60
- 2 or -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The function puts a minus sign on 3 times the magnitude of the input.
1. y = -|3×17| = -51
2. y = -|3×10| = -30
3. y = -|3×20| = -60
4. -6 = -|3x|
2 = |x| . . . . divide by -3
x = ±2 . . . . two possibilities
