Answer:

Onyango is 48, his daughter is 16 and his son is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call Onyango's age x, therefore his daughter and son's ages are 1/3 x and 1/4 x respectively. We can write:

x + 8 = 12 + (1/3x + 8 + 1/4x + 8)

x + 8 = 7/12x + 28

5/12x = 20

x = 48 → 1/3x = 48 / 3 = 16, 1/4x = 48 / 4 = 12

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter C

Step-by-step explanation:

                                        4x² + 5x - 6

Process

                4 x - 6 = - 24

                Find two numbers that added gives + 5 and multiply gives -24

                These numbers are + 8 and - 3

                 4x² + 8x - 3x - 6

Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to the exponential equation below?
Nataly_w [17]
With any equation you are allowed to take the logarithm of both sides so
5^c=125 now take the logarithm base 5 to both sides giving.
log5(5^c)=log5(125), using the rule log(a^b)=a*log(b) you get
c log5(5)=log5(125), since log5(5)=1
c=log5(125)
