<span>Let x=one number and x+12= the other number.  Together the numbers=54.  Set up the equation:  x+x+12=54;  Combine the variables;  2x+12=54;  Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation;  2x=42; Divide both sides of the equation by 2;  x=21 is one number and 21+12=33 is the other number.  Check:  2(21) +12=54;  42+12=54;  54=54.</span>

Does anyone know how to solve this?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

b = -125/9

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + log5 ( -9b) = 4

Subtract 1 from each side

1 -1+ log5 ( -9b) = 4-1

log5 ( -9b) = 3

Raise each side to the base 5

5^  log5 ( -9b) = 5^3

This will cancel the log5

-9b = 125

Divide each side by 9

-9b/-9 = 125/-9

b = -125/9
