G = 85

x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
or
Since both sides have the same base, we can write
10x = 5x - 5
or
5x = -5
x = -1

Answer: (x+1)(x+3)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume it factors into (x+a)(x+b)
The goal is to find the two numbers a and b.
FOIL out (x+a)(x+b) to get x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Note how a+b is the middle term and ab is the last term.
In the original expression, 4 is the middle term and 3 is the last term.
So we need to find two numbers that
There are two ways to multiply to 3 and they are
- 1 times 3 = 3
- -1 times -3 = -3
But only the first way has the factors add to 4. So that means a = 1 and b = 3.
Therefore (x+a)(x+b) = (x+1)(x+3)
And x^2+4x+3 = (x+1)(x+3)
Apply lg on both sides.
lg7^x^2 = lg9^x
Bring the power forward.
x^2lg7 = xlg9
x^2/x = lg9/lg7
x = lg9/lg7 = 1.13
B because each input has one output
