X-5+5x-12=25
x+5x=25+5+12
6x=42
x=42/6
x=7
If a^ x = b then:
x = log_{a}b
For:
4^{7} = 16384 \\ log _{4}16384 = 7
Set each expression from the parentheses equal to 0 separately like so:
Equation 1: x - 4 = 0
Equation 2: -5x + 1 = 0
Now for each equation solve for x!
Equation 1:
x +(- 4 + 4) = 0 + 4
x = 4
Equation 2:
-5x +( 1-1) = 0 - 1
-5x/ -5 = -1 / -5
x = 1/5
Check:
(4 - 4)(-5*4 + 1)
(0) (-20 + 1)
(0) (-19)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
(1/5 - 4)(-5 * 1/5 + 1)
(-19/5)(-1 + 1)
(-19/5)(0)
0 = 0 -------------------------> correct!
smaller x = 1/5
larger x = 4
Hope this helped!
60*80-10*16 if it's regular area and not surface area
12.5%. there is a 1 in 8 chance that all three times it will land on heads.
