Answer: $60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The formula for percentage increase I (given as a decimal) of an investment is I=\dfrac{S-P}{P}, where P is the purchase price and S is the sale price.

If Price of stock S= $75 and the percentage increase of 25% i.e. I=0.25.

Then, to find P , we substitute the values of S and I in the given equation, we get

0.25=\dfrac{75-P}{P}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 0.25P=75-P\\\\\Rightarrow\ P+0.25P=75\\\\\Rightarrow\ (1.25)P=75\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{75}{1.25}=60

Hence, the purchase price of the stock was $60.

Order the steps to solve the equation log(x^2-15)=log(2x) form 1 to 5
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:x=-5 and x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

log(x^2-15)=log(2x)

Cancel log at both sides we get

x^2-15=2x

Collect like terms

x^2-2x-15=0

x^2-3x+5x-15=0

x(x-3)+5(x-3)=0

(x+5)(x-3)=0

x+5=0 x-3=0

x=-5 x=3
