One dozen eggs is 48 eggs. Altogether that costs 40 dollars. If six of the eggs were broken then the money wasted would be 5 dollars.

The reason that it is 5 dollars is becuase it takes 10 to buy 12 eggs, and half of that is 6. So divide both 12 and 10 (separately) and you get 5 dollars for 6 eggs.

To get the percent you must divide 5 by 40.

The answer comes out to about 12.5% or 0.125.

So in the end, 12.5% of the money was wasted due to the broken eggs.

Hope this helped!

Which equation(s) have x = –3 as the solution? log3(2x + 15) = 2 log5(8x + 9) = 2 log4(–20x + 4) = 3 logx81 = 4

Answer:

log_3(2x+15)=2 and log_4(-20x+4)=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug it in and see!

$log_3(2x+15)=2\\log_3(2(-3)+15)=2\\log_3(-6+15)=2\\log_3(9)=2\\\text{ This is a true equation because } 3^2=9\\\\\\log_5(8(-3)+9)=2\\log_5(-24+9)=2\\log_5(-15)=2\\\\\text{ Not true because you cannot do log of a negative number }\\\\log_4(-20(-3)+4)=3\\log_4(64)=3\\\text{ this is true because } 4^3=64\\\\\\log_x (81)=4\\log_{-3}(81)=4\\\text{ the base cannot be negative }\\\\\\\\\text{ There is only two options here} \\\\log_3(2x+15)=2 \text{ and } log_4(-20x+4)=3$
