Answer:

38 people

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we can see that, being two people, the cost is 14 and when it is double, that is, 4 people, the value is not 28 but 20.

Which means that there is an additional value that is being charged for the vehicle, that is:

let "c" be the value of the vehicle and "x" be the value per person

c + 2 * x = 14

c + 4 * x = 20 => c = 20 - 4 * x

replacing:

20 - 4 * x + 2 * x = 14

-2 * x = 14-20

-2 * x = -6

x = 6/2

x = 3

for C:

c = 20 - 4 * 3

c = 8

Which means that the formula for the value of the input would then be:

e = 8 + 3 * n

where "n" is the number of people.

Now, we are told that for e = 122

122 = 8 * + 3 * n

3 * n = 122 -8

n = 114/3

n = 38

which means that for that bus there are a total of 38 people

What is 3 log Subscript 2 Baseline x minus (log Subscript 2 Baseline 3 minus log Subscript 2 Baseline (x + 4)) written as a sing
Serhud [2]

Answer:

\log_{2} [\frac{x^{3}(x + 4)}{3}]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write the following logarithmic expression as a single logarithm.

The given expression is

3\log_{2} x - [\log_{2} 3 - \log_{2}(x + 4)]

= 3\log_{2} x - \log_{2} (\frac{3}{x + 4})

{Since, \log A - \log B = \log \frac{A}{B}, from the properties of logarithmic function }

= \log_{2} x^{3}  - \log_{2} (\frac{3}{x + 4})

{Since, a\log b = \log b^{a}, which also a logarithmic property}

= \log_{2} [\frac{x^{3}}{\frac{3}{x + 4}}]

= \log_{2} [\frac{x^{3}(x + 4)}{3}] (Answer)
