Answer with explanation:

The equation is

  5 x-2 =8

Adding 2 on both sides

→5 x-2+2=8+2

→5 x=10

Dividing both sides by,5, we get

→x=2

Using the concept of Logarithms

1.\log_{a}b=\frac{\log b}{\log a}\\\\2.\log ab=\log a +\log b\\\\\rightarrow \log_{10}{5 x}=\log_{10} 10\\\\\rightarrow \log_{10}5+\log_{10} x=1\\\\0.698+\log_{10} x=1\\\\\log_{10} x=1-0.698\\\\ \frac{\log x}{\log 10}=0.302\\\\ \log x=(\log 10^{0.302})\\\\ \log x=\log 2.044\\\\x=2.004472

Gives, x=2.005 (Approx)

(b) The force, F, between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, d, between
LiRa [457]

Answer:

F is reduced by 31%

Step-by-step explanation:

F = 1/(d²)

now, we increase the distance by 20% (multiply by 1.2).

F new = 1/(1.2×d)² = 1/(1.44×d²) = (1/1.44) × (1/(d²)) =

= 1/1.44 × old F = 0.69 × old F

100 - 69 = 31%

If you had to pick a number 1-4 what would be the luckiest?
earnstyle [38]

I always feel drawn to the number 2 for some reason because it is in the middle between 2 and four and usually when given an option to pick a number I never pick a number that they say. Personally I just feel drawn to pick the number 2 its a nice even number and perhaps could be lucky :)
