Let 2k represent the original even number (such that k is an integer)

then 2(k + 1) is the next consecutive even number.

4(2k) - 16 = 2(k + 1)

8k - 16 = 2k + 2

6k = 18

k = 3

since 2k represents the original number, then 2(3) = 6 is the oroginal number

Given the equation, S = D/T:

To make the D the subject of the equation, we can start by multiplying both sides by T to isolate D:

(T) S = D/T (T)

TS = D

Therefore, the final answer is D = TS

Log10 (2x + 1) - logio(3x - 2) = 1

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: x=3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, first express the left side as one logarithm. To do so, apply the quotient rule which is log_bM/N=log_bM-log_bN .

log((2x+1)/(3x-2))=1

Then, express the equation to its equivalent exponential form to eliminate the logarithm.

Note that the exponential form of log_b M=a is M=b^a .

Since the base of the logarithm in the given equation is not written, it indicates that its base is 10.

So re-writing the equation, it becomes:

log_10((2x+1)/(3x-2))=1

And its exponential form is:

(2x+1)/(3x-2)=10^1

(2x+1)/(3x-2)=10

Now that the equation has no more logarithm, the next step is to remove the x in the denominator.

To do so, multiply both sides by 3x-2.

(3x-2)*(2x+1)/(3x-2)=10*(3x-2)

2x+1=30x-20

Next, combine like terms.

To combine 30x and 2x, bring them together on one side of the equation. So, move 2x to the right side by subtracting both sides by 2x.

2x-2x+1=30x-2x-20

1=28x-20

To combine 20 and 1, bring them together on the side opposite the term with x. So, add both sides by 20.

1+20=28x-20+20

21=28x

And, divide both sides by 28 to have x only at the right side.

21/28=(28x)/28

3/4=x

Hence, the solution to the given equation is x=3/4 .

<h3>Answer: Choice C) 421.9</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

You're on the right track. You wrote down the proper expression to get the final answer, assuming you meant to write 75/4 as the third term inside the parenthesis. This works because each time you cut the side length in half to get each smaller triangle's side. The 3 is because there are 3 sides for each of the triangles. Much of this I have a feeling you already know as you wrote down the expression on the page, though I'm not 100% sure of your mindset. Computing this expression leads to 421.875 which rounds to 421.9

note: an alternative is to write 3*75 + 3*75/2 + 3*75/4 + 3*75/8, though that is more work. It's better to have that 3 factored out.
