the answer to your question is -67.424
The answer is b, which reads:
the log of 1024, base 4, is x
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Determine the equation of line that passes through (-8,0) and parallel to 
Parallel lines have the same slope.
In 
The slope, m is

because the general form of a linear equation is:

Where

So, by comparison:

Next, is to determine the equation of line through (-8,0)
This is calculated using:

Where


So, we have:






I will do a and b and you do the rest.
For (a), the equation is x + y = 154.
For (b), the equation is 320x + 85y = 14,970.
We have two equations in two unknowns.
Use the substitute method to find x and y (the given c). Once you have x and y, use that to find d.
Take it from here.
