So
if x is the number she spent on each sister and y is the number she spent on each nephew then
180=3x+2y

she wants to spend 15 dollars more on sisters than nephews
so
x=15+y
solve

we have
180=3x+2y and
x=15+y
subsitute 15+y for x

180=3(15+y)+2y
180=45+3y+2y
180=45+5y
minus 45 both sides
135=5y
divide both sides by 5
27=y

solve for x
x=15+y
x=15+27
x=42

she spent $42 on each sister

2logx=3-2log(x+3) solve for x​
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{-3+\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

2\log x=3-2\log(x+3)\\\\Domain:\ x>0\ \wedge\ x+3>0\to x>-3\\\\D:x>0\\============================\\2\log x=3-2\log(x+3)\qquad\text{add}\ 2\log(x+3)\ \text{to both sides}\\\\2\log x+2\log(x+3)=3\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\log x+\log(x+3)=\dfrac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use}\ \log_ab+\log_ac=\log_a(bc)\\\\\log\bigg(x(x+3)\bigg)=\dfrac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use the de}\text{finition of a logarithm}\\\\x(x+3)=10^\frac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use the distributive property}

x^2+3x=10^{1\frac{1}{2}}\\\\x^2+3x=10^{1+\frac{1}{2}}\qquad\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\x^2+3x=10\cdot10^\frac{1}{2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt[n]{a}=a^\frac{1}{n}\\\\x^2+3x=10\sqrt{10}\qquad\text{subtract}\ 10\sqrt{10}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2+3x-10\sqrt{10}=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula}\\\\ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\a=1,\ b=3,\ c=-10\sqrt{10}\\\\b^2-4ac=3^2-4(1)(-10\sqrt{10})=9+40\sqrt{10}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3-\sqrt{10+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}\notin D

ILL MARK BRAINIEST IF YOU CAN DO THIS RIGHT!!!
Bumek [7]

Answer:  Slope: -1/2  

Step-by-step explanation:  To find slope take 2 points that lie on the line and use this formula to solve:  <em> </em>I will use (0, -2) and (2, -3) to solve

                                                                       ↑    ↑           ↑   ↑

y2 - y1                                                             x1  y1          x2  y2

-----------

x2 - x1

So, for this question, substitute the x and y values from the points above to solve.

-3 - (-2)      

----------- =  - 1/2

2 - 0

Hope this helped. :)
