Knowing that logarithm functions and exponential functions are inverse to each other, the procees to convert a logarithmic equation to its equivalent is to perform all the operations to set an equation of the typ:

,
then invert to show it equivalent form:

.
With that you have solved the equation for x.
3 gallons per second
Or
1/3 second per gallon
Just do 150 gal over 50 seconds
Or reverse it to 50 sec over 150 gallons
So you get 3 gallons occur each 1 second or the it takes 1/3 of a second for each 1 gallon to flow
<span>The reciprocal of a fraction is simply the reverse
position of the original fraction, its numerator and denominator. It is
represented by the formula of 1/number (fraction). To get the reciprocal of the
number, divide one by the fractional number. You are given the number 6/5. So you
have a numerator of 6 and a denominator of five. Simply swap them and you get
the new numerator as 5 and the new denominator as 6. Or you can just divide
1/(6/5) then you will get 5/6. The answer is letter D.</span>
For this problem your equation will be x+(x+1)+(x+2)=537
Multiply and Simplify:
x+x+1+x+2=537
3x+3=537
Subtract 3 from both sides:
3x+3-3=537-3
3x=534
Divide both sides by 3:
3x/3=537/3
x=179
179 is the middle number so: 178+179+180=537
180 is the third number.
