Answer:
x = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
using the law of logarithms
• 
x = n ⇔ x = 
, hence
(2x - 12) = 3 ⇒ 2x - 12 = 
= 64
add 12 to both sides
2x = 76 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 38
Answer:
x=6, x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring this quadratic gets you (x-6)(x+5)=0, for this to be possible, either x-6 or x+5 has to be zero, so therefor x is 6, or x is -5
It will take them 3 hours to meet
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is:
- Jack and Jill live 345 miles apart from one another
- They want to meet for lunch and agree to leave the same time, drive toward each other, and meet somewhere along the route
- Jack's average rates 60 mph
- Jill's average rate is 55 mph
We need to find how long it will take them to meet
Distance = Speed × Time
∵ They will drive toward each other at the same time and meet
each other somewhere
- That means they will drive for the same time
∵ Jack's average rates 60 mph for t hours
∴ Jack will drive a distance = 60 × t = 60 t miles
∵ Jill's average rate is 55 mph for t hours
∴ Jill will drive a distance = 55 × t = 55 t miles
∵ The distance between Jack and Jill is 345 miles apart
- Add their distance above and equate the sum by 345
∴ 60 t + 55 t = 345
∴ 115 t = 345
- Divide both sides by 115
∴ t = 3 hours
It will take them 3 hours to meet
