Writing the problem as an equation you have:

2x+6 > -16

Solve for x:

2x+6 > -16

Subtract 6 from each side:

2x > -22

Divide both sides by 2:

x > -11

The answer is: x > -11

Karina is showing her steps to solve the expression −26.7 ÷ 1/3

timama [110]

Step 2: -26.7 · -3

When you divide with a fraction, it's helpful to multiple by the reciprocal of the fraction .

This step instead multiplied by the negative reciprocal .

Therefore, the correct answer would be -80.1 instead of 80.1

The error was made in step 2.

Solve the following equations.<br> log2(x^2 − 16) − log^2(x − 4) = 1

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

$x=\frac{4*(2+e)}{e-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's rewrite the left side keeping in mind the next propierties:

$log(\frac{1}{x} )=-log(x)$

$log(x*y)=log(x)+log(y)$

Therefore:

$log(2*(x^{2} -16))+log(\frac{1}{(x-4)^{2} })=1\\ log(\frac{2*(x^{2} -16)}{(x-4)^{2}})=1$

Now, cancel logarithms by taking exp of both sides:

$e^{log(\frac{2*(x^{2} -16)}{(x-4)^{2}})} =e^{1} \\\frac{2*(x^{2} -16)}{(x-4)^{2}}=e$

Multiply both sides by $(x-4)^{2}$ and using distributive propierty:

$2x^{2} -32=16e-8ex+ex^{2}$

Substract $16e-8ex+ex^{2}$ from both sides and factoring:

$-(x-4)*(-8-4e-2x+ex)=0$

Multiply both sides by -1:

$(x-4)*(-8-4e-2x+ex)=0$

Split into two equations:

$x-4=0\hspace{3}or\hspace{3}-8-4e-2x+ex=0$

Solving for $x-4=0$

Add 4 to both sides:

$x=4$

Solving for $-8-4e-2x+ex=0$

Collect in terms of x and add $4e+8$ to both sides:

$x(e-2)=4e+8$

Divide both sides by e-2:

$x=\frac{4*(2+e)}{e-2}$

The solutions are:

$x=4\hspace{3}or\hspace{3}x=\frac{4*(2+e)}{e-2}$

If we evaluate x=4 in the original equation:

$log(0)-log(0)=1$

This is an absurd because log (x) is undefined for $x\leq 0$

If we evaluate $x=\frac{4*(2+e)}{e-2}$ in the original equation:

$log(2*((\frac{4e+8}{e-2})^2-16))-log((\frac{4e+8}{e-2}-4)^2)=1$

Which is correct, therefore the solution is:

$x=\frac{4*(2+e)}{e-2}$

lemme do only California, so you see how's done.

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\stackrel{California}{\textit{14\% of 158609}}}{\left( \cfrac{14}{100} \right)158609}\implies 22205.26$
