Find logarithm of both sides

log (3^x) = log 8

xlog3 = log8

x = log8/log3

Answer:

x ≈ 1.893 ( to 3 dec. places )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

log $x^{n}$ = n logx

Given

$3^{x}$ = 8 ( take the log of both sides )

log $3^{x}$ = log8, that is

xlog3 = log8 ( divide both sides by log3 )

x = $\frac{log8}{log3}$ ≈ 1.893

Andrew is buying three different colors of tiles for his kitchen floor. he is buying 50 more purple tiles than black tiles, and

lorasvet [3.4K]

- Key -

Black tiles = x
Purple tiles = x+50
Yellow tiles = 5x

-

Total = x + x+50 + 5x = 400
⇒ 7x + 50 = 400
⇒ 7x = 400-50 = 350
⇒ x = 350/7
⇒ x = 50

Black tiles = 50
Purple tiles = 50+50 = 100
Yellow tiles = 5 x 50 = 250

Can someone help me out with this ??

nalin [4]

Answer:

1. b > -2

2. x <= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

-2(b + 5) < -6

Divide both sides by -2. Remember to change the inequality sign.

b + 5 > 3

Subtract 5 from both sides.

b > -2

Question 2:

-(x - 10) >= 7

Divide both sides by -1. Remember to change the inequality sign.

x - 10 <= -7

Add 10 to both sides.

x <= 3
