Every angle of a square equals 90 degrees.

2x - 4 = 90 3y + 6 = 90
2x = 90 + 4 3y = 90 - 6
2x = 94 3y = 84
x = 94/2 y = 84/3
x = 47 y = 28

so x = 47 and y = 28

Answer:

B. x = 28, y = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that PQRS is a square

We know that , In a square each vertex is a right angle that is 90 degree

So we set two equations

3y+ 6 = 90 and 2x -4 = 90

Solve for x and y

3y + 6 = 90

Subtract 6 from both sides

3y = 84

divide by 3 on both sides

y = 28

2x - 4 = 90

Add 4 on both sides

2x= 94

Divide by 2 on both sides

x= 47

3^x= 3*2^x solve this equation

kompoz [17]

In the equation

$3^x = 3\cdot 2^x$

divide both sides by $2^x$ to get

$\dfrac{3^x}{2^x} = 3 \cdot \dfrac{2^x}{2^x} \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac32\right)^x = 3$

Take the base-3/2 logarithm of both sides:

$\log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac32\right)^x = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies x \log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac 32\right) = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = \log_{3/2}(3)}$

Alternatively, you can divide both sides by $3^x$ :

$\dfrac{3^x}{3^x} = \dfrac{3\cdot 2^x}{3^x} \\\\ \implies 1 = 3 \cdot\left(\dfrac23\right)^x \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac23\right)^x = \dfrac13$

Then take the base-2/3 logarith of both sides to get

$\log_{2/3}\left(2/3\right)^x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac23\right) = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(3^{-1}\right) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = -\log_{2/3}(3)}$

(Both answers are equivalent)
