3x + 9 = 44 - 2x (add 2x to each side)
5x + 9 = 44 (minus 9 from each side)
5x = 35 (divide each side by 5)
x = 7

3 x + 9 = 44 - 2 x

subtract 9 from both sides:

3 x + 9 - 9 = 44 - 2x - 9

3 x = -2 x +35

Add 2 x to both sides:

3 x + 2 x = -2 x + 35 + 2 x

5 x = 35

Divide both sides by 5 :

5x / 5 = 35/ 5

x = 7

hope this helps!

Is 69/100 and 6/10 equivalent fractions

zubka84 [21]

No. If you divide 69 by 100 you would get 0.69. If you divided 6 by 10 you would get 0.6. Therefore 69/100 and 6/10 is not equivalent.

How does adding the log together automatically mean that it is a factorial?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The answer is given below.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given an equality involving logarithm and we are to show the implication of L.H.S. to R.H.S.

We will be using the following two properties of logarithm:

$(i)~\log_ba=\dfrac{1}{\log_ab},\\\\\\(ii)~log_ab+\log_ac=\log_a(bc).$

The proof is as follows:

$L.H.S.\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{\log_2N}+\dfrac{1}{\log_3N}+\dfrac{1}{\log_4N}+\cdots+\dfrac{1}{\log_{100}N}\\\\\\=\log_N2+\logN3+\log_N4+\cdots+\log_N100\\\\=\log_N\{2.3.4...100\}\\\\=\log_N\{1.2.3.4...100\}\\\\=\log_N{100!}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{\log_{100!}N}\\\\=R.H.S.$
