If we go back to the defenition of logs, we can find this solution quickly.
What you're saying when you say ㏒₂(5x+7) = 5 is that
2⁵ = 5x+7
So
32 = 5x+7
25 = 5x
x = 5
<u>First let's calculate the exponents.</u>

Answer:
y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
2x2 - 12
4 - 12 = -8
hope this helps
x = -2
-2 + 2y = -12
add 2 to both sides: 2y = -10
divide by 2 on both sides: y = -5
when x = -2, y = -5
