<u>Answer:</u>
The value in 3x + 2 = 15 for x using the change of base formula is 0.465 approximately and second option is correct one.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, expression is 
We have to solve the above expression using change of base formula which is given as
Now, let us first apply logarithm for the given expression.
Then given expression turns into as, 
By using change of base formula,
x + 2 = 2.4649
x = 2.4649 – 2 = 0.4649
Hence, the value of x is 0.465 approximately and second option is correct one.
Answer:
$14
Step-by-step explanation:
x/17.5=20/100, do the butterfly method
17.5x20=350
350/100= 3.5
17.5-3.5=14

Try this:
1) note that weight of pure antifreeze before mixing and after mixing is the same. So, if 'x' is weight of pure antifreeze in 50% solution, it is possible to make up equation before mixing: 0.5x+0.2*90.
2) there are 0.2*90=18 gal. of pure antifreeze in the 20% solution. If 'x' gal. is the weight of pure antifreeze in 50% sol. and 18 gal. is the weight of pure antifreeze in 20% sol., it is possible to make up an equation after mixing: 0.4(x+18).
3) using the both parts: 0.5x+0.2*90=0.4(x+18) ⇒ x=54 gal. of <u>pure</u> weight.
4) to find 50% solution of 54 gal. pure weight just 54:0.5=108 gal.
Answer: 108 gal.
