The sum of two numbers is 61.The larger number is 4 more than two times the smaller number. What is the smaller number?

Smaller number = x
larger number = y

$\left \{ {{y+x=61} \atop y=2x+4}} \right.$

solve the system of equations by substitution:

(2x+4) + x = 61
3x+4 = 61
3x=57
x=19

Plug x into the top equation and solve for y:

y + (19) = 61
y = 42

A + b = 61 a > b a = 2b + 4

2b + 4 + b = 61
3b + 4 = 61
3b = 57
b = 19

$e ^{2x} = ln5$

Solve for the real domain

$e ^{2x} = ln(5)$

if $f(x) =g(x),$ then $ln(f(x))= ln(g(x))$

$ln(e ^{2x} ) = ln(ln(5))$

Solve : <span> $ln(e ^{2x} ) = ln(ln(5))$
</span>
use the logarithmic definition :

$ln(e^{f(x)} ) = f(x)$

$ln(e^{2x} ) = 2x$

$2x=ln(ln(5))$

Divide both sides by 2 :

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{ln(ln(5))}{2}$

$x= \frac{ln(ln(5))}{2}$

hope this helps!

A has $32 more than B, and B has five times as much money as C. If C has d dollars, how much does A have? Answer:

Hoochie [10]

A = B+32

B = 5C

A = 5C+32

C has d dollars so replace d for c

A = 5d+32
