Answer:
option C
x = 2 , x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to remember the "Quotient Rule" for exponent having same base.
The quotient rule tells us that we can divide two powers with the same base by subtracting the exponents.
Here,
base = 12
exponents = (x² + 5x - 4) , (2x + 6)
12^(x² + 5x - 4) = 12^(2x + 6)
12^((x² + 5x - 4) /(2x + 6)) = 1
12^((x² + 5x - 4) -(2x + 6)) = 1
12^(x² + 5x - 4 - 2x - 6) = 1
12^(x² + 5x - 2x - 4 - 6) = 1
12^(x² + 3x - 10) = 1
ln (12^(x² + 3x - 10)) = ln(1)
(x² + 3x - 10)ln(12) = 0
ln(12) = 0 rejected
x² + 3x - 10 = 0
Now solve the quadratic equations by factorisation.
(x-2)(x+5) = 0
x = 2 , x = -5
9 < 6- (-3)
This is due to the negatives turning into one positive!
Here are some examples of division word problems that can be solved in two steps. We will illustrate how block diagrams or tape diagrams can be used to help you to visualize the division word problems in terms of the information given and the data that needs to be found. We also learn how to solve multiplication and division word problems by identifying key terms.
