x=\frac{1}{2}-\sqrt3\\\\x^3-2x^2-7x+5=3\\\\(\frac{1}{2}-\sqrt3)^3-2(\frac{1}{2}-\sqrt3)^2-7(\frac{1}{2}-\sqrt3)+5\\\\=(\frac{1}{2})^3-3\cdot(\frac{1}{2})^2\cdto\sqrt3+3\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot(\sqrt3)^2-(\sqrt3)^3-...\\\\...-2[(\frac{1}{2})^2-2\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot\sqrt3+(\sqrt3)^2]-\frac{7}{2}+7\sqrt3+5

=\frac{1}{8}-\frac{3\sqrt3}{4}+\frac{9}{2}-3\sqrt3-2(\frac{1}{4}-\sqrt3+3)-\frac{7}{2}+7\sqrt3+5\\\\=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{9}{2}-\frac{1}{2}-6-\frac{7}{2}+5-\frac{3}{4}\sqrt3-3\sqrt3+2\sqrt3+7\sqrt3\\\\=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2}-1+5\frac{1}{4}\sqrt3=\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{2}+5\frac{1}{4}\sqrt3=\frac{1}{8}-\frac{4}{8}+5\frac{1}{4}\sqrt3\\\\=-\frac{3}{8}+5\frac{1}{4}\sqrt3\neq3

To raise additional money for the school, the pep club decided to open the concession stand during the tournament and sell sandw
Ostrovityanka [42]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

Given:<span> x +y = 390 </span>

2x + 4y = 1260

2x+4y=1260 ßdivide by 2

= x+2y=630

x+y=390 ßsubtract

= x+2y-x-y=630-390

y=240

x+240=390

x=390-240=150

 

<span>So, if they raised $1260 from the concession stand, then they sold 240 sandwiches.</span>

Which equations are equivalent to log 4x=3
Lady bird [3.3K]
I'm not sure that this is what you wanted, but the solution is x = 2500
log(4x) = 3 \\ rule > \: log_{a}(b) = x < = > \: b = {a}^{x} \\ 4x = {10}^{3} \\ 4x = 10 \: 000 \\ x = \frac{10 \: 000}{4} \\ x = 2500
Note: when we have no number as the logarithmic base, it is 10 by default.
