Step-by-step explanation:
The bases are not the same, so you cannot set 3x - 1 equal to 8.
You can evaluate the logarithm on the right side of the equation to get 3.
You can use the definition of a logarithm to write 3x - 1 = 1000.
This is because logarithm has its own set of properties that is different from algebra. The term log(3x - 1) is equivalent to log 3x/log 1. If we continue to rearrange and find x, the solution would be: log(3x - 1) = log28 log 3x/log 1 = log 28 log 3x = log 28 * log 1 = 0 3x = 10⁰ = 1 3x = 1 x = 1/3<em>So, that means 3x - 1 = 3(1/3) - 1 = 0.</em>

Hi there! Your answer would be: D, If it is an octagon, then it does not have exactly five sides. I also know because I took this exam and it was correct. Hope that helps!
Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
There are four 4 by 3 rectangles, so I did 4x3 and got 12, then multiplied by 4 to get 48. There are also two 4 by 4 squares, so 4x4=16 and 16x2=32
32+48=80

Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
y=4x-3
This is in the form
y= mx +b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
4 is the slope and -3 is the y intercept
