The answer is 6, reaosn is because 6/8 is not simplified, so if we divide both sides by 2 (the numerator and the denominator), we can get a simplified fraction, which is 3/4. Steps: 6/8, 6 divided by 2/8 divided by 2, 3/4.
Hope this helped!

B) 14.
If you start with subtracting the 8 pages from 50, you get 42 remaining pages. Then it says 2/3 of the REMAINING pages so you divide 42 into thirds. 42/3=14. You want 2/3 of that, so you multiply the 14 by two to get 28 (it's like there are three piles of 14 pages and you want only 2 out of the three piles). So now you've used 28 pages + the original 8. You've used a TOTAL of 36 pages. Subtract 36 from 50 and you get 14 left.
Answer:
0.4077
Step-by-step explanation:
It's important to use parenthesis to avoid confusion.
9^(2x) = 6
Use exponent properties:
(9^2)^x = 6
81^x = 6
Take log of both sides
ln(81^x) = ln(6)
Use log properties:
x ln(81) = ln(6)
Solve for x:
x = ln(6) / ln(81)
x ≈ 0.4077
