Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For #6, first use the rule to "undo" the division. That rule is subtraction:

Now "undo" the multiplication with addition:

The last rule is to pull down the exponent to the front:

For #7, begin by setting each expression equal to x, what we are solving for.

Writing this as an exponent:

Take the natural log of both sides:

Following the same rule as above, we can pull the x down front:
x ln(4)= ln(18)
To solve for x, just divide both sides by ln(4) to get that
x = 2.08
Do the same thing for 7b.
and
and
and
and divide both sides by ln(1/2) to get that
x = -6.21
