You can take the log of the left and right hand side, and then apply the <span>logarithm rules:
log(a</span>ˣ) = x·log(a)
log(ab) = log(a) + log(b)
log(9^(x-1) * 2^(2x+2)) = log(6^(3x))
log(9^(x-1)) + log(2^(2x+2)) = 3x log(6)
(x-1) log(9) + (2x+2) log(2) - 3x log(6) = 0
x(log9 + 2log2 - 3log6) = log9 - 2log2
x = (log9 - 2log2) / (log9 + 2log2 - 3log6)
simplifying by writing log9 = 2log3 and log6 = log2+log3
x= 2(log3 - log2) / (2log3 + 2log2 - 3log2 - 3log3) =
x= -2(log3 - log2) / (log3 + log2) = -2 log(3/2) / log(6)
So 6^x = 4/9

Answer:
On a coordinate plane, a curved line crosses the x-axis at (negative 1, 0), and crosses the y-axis at (0, negative 3). What are the intercepts of the graphed function? x-intercept = (–1, 0) a y-intercept = (–3, 0) b x-intercept = (0, –1) c y-intercept = (0, –3) d x-intercept = (0, –1) e y-intercept = (–3, 0) f x-intercept = (–1, 0) g y-intercept = (0, –3)
1 beehive produces 85 lb/year
10³ beehives = 1,000 beehives produce 85x1,000 = 85,000 lb/year
0.059 x 100 = 5.9%
5.9% is your answer
hope this helps
