Have you learned slope yet? Pick two points from the graph and do x-y on the top and x-y on the bottom. That would give you your slope then you can graph it. For example (-2,-1) (-1,1)
-2-(-1)
-1-1
Then that would give you -1/-2 so technically -1/2<< this is what you graph
12) 12, 8
12 - 8 = 4
12 + 8 = 20
Answer: 4 < x <span>< 20
13) 11, 3
11 - 3 = 8
11 + 3 = 14
Answer: 8 </span>< x <span>< 14
Hope this helps :)</span>
<h3><u>The value of x is equal to 1.</u></h3><h3><u>6(x + 2) = 20x - 2</u></h3>
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
6x + 12 = 20x - 2
<em><u>Add 2 to both sides.</u></em>
6x + 14 = 20x
<em><u>Subtract 16x from both sides.</u></em>
14 = 14x
<em><u>Divide both sides by x.</u></em>
x = 1
Answer:
-3.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential equations can be solved by taking Ln (natural logarithm) of both sides. The rule we need to know is:

Now lets work out this problem:

Using calculator, we take the values of Ln 16 and Ln 13 as:
Ln 16 = 2.7726
Ln 13 = 2.5649
Now, we can solve for x:

x is -3.69 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
