Answer
Let the first no. be 2x
second no. =x
third no. =2x/3
A/Q
2x+x+2x/3=132
11x/3=132
x=36.
Hence the second no. is 36
1. Answer: 15.7143
log (7x-10)=2
Use the identity: loga(x)=b = x=(a)(b)
7x-10=10^2
Evaluate the Power
7x-10=100
Addition Property of Equality
7x=110
Division Property of Equality
x=110/7 or 15.7143
2. Answer: 0.3107
log(3)+log(x^-3)=2
log(3x^-3)=2
log(3 x 1/x^3)=2
log(3/x^3)=2
3/x^3=10^2
3/x^3=100
3=100x^3
3/100=x^3
Answer Cube root 30 / 10 or 0.3107
3. Answer: 0.002
log(5) + log(x) = -2
log(5x)= -2
5x= 10^-2
5x=1/10^2
5x=1/100
x=1/500
Answer: 0.002
Honestly I could tell you the steps, but I do not have a lot of time. Sorry. I will comment later if you need the steps
Multiply 12x12 ten times. The exponent inside the parenthesis is 0 therefore is doesn't effect the 12. <span />
You can divide the sides to simplify them.
20/100 = 10/50 = 5/25 = 1/5
