Use the given information as (x, y) points.
You have
(1, 34)
(2, 50)
(3, 66)
(4, 82)
The difference between renting for 1 day and 2 days is 50 - 34 = 16.
The difference between renting for 2 days and 3 days is 66 - 50 = 16
The difference between renting for 3 days and 4 days is 82 - 66 = 16
For each day you rent you pay $16.
Now look at renting for 1 day.
The rental for 1 day is $16, but for 1 day you pay $34.
$34 - $16 = $18
There is an extra $18 in the rental for every day. The $18 is fixed.
That means, to rent a truck, you must pay a fixed amount of $18 plus $16 per day.

total cost = daily cost + fixed cost
total cost = 16d + 16
c = 16d + 18

3^x= 3*2^x solve this equation

kompoz [17]

In the equation

$3^x = 3\cdot 2^x$

divide both sides by $2^x$ to get

$\dfrac{3^x}{2^x} = 3 \cdot \dfrac{2^x}{2^x} \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac32\right)^x = 3$

Take the base-3/2 logarithm of both sides:

$\log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac32\right)^x = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies x \log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac 32\right) = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = \log_{3/2}(3)}$

Alternatively, you can divide both sides by $3^x$ :

$\dfrac{3^x}{3^x} = \dfrac{3\cdot 2^x}{3^x} \\\\ \implies 1 = 3 \cdot\left(\dfrac23\right)^x \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac23\right)^x = \dfrac13$

Then take the base-2/3 logarith of both sides to get

$\log_{2/3}\left(2/3\right)^x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac23\right) = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(3^{-1}\right) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = -\log_{2/3}(3)}$
