First join the log4 on the left:

log4( x*(x-3) = log4(-7x+21)

Then x = -7, works: -7*(-10)=70 = -7*(-7)+21

x=-3, 18 = 42, does not work

x=3 0=0 works,

However, when one puts x = -7 in the *original* exression, log4(-7) or log4(-10) do not exist (you know why?). So x= -7 is extraneous.

Now x=3 gives log4(0) on the left and right, which does not exist.

So, C is the answer, both are extraneous. Seem to work but indeed don't work in the *original* equation

Answer: The correct option is C, i.e., x=3 and x=-7.

Explanation:

The given equation is,

log_4(x)+log_4(x-3)=log_4(-7x+21)

Using product property of logarithm log_a(mn)=log_am+log_an

log_4(x(x-3))=log_4(-7x+21)

log_4(x^2-3x)=log_4(-7x+21)

On comparing both sides,

x^2-3x=-7x+21

x^2-3x+7x-21=0

x^2+4x-21=0

Using grouping method 4x can be written as (7x-3x). Because the product of 7 and -3 is equal to the constant term -21 and the addition of 7 and -3 is equal to the coefficient of x.

x^2+7x-3x-21=0

x(x+7)-3(x+7)=0

(x-3)(x+7)=0

Equate each factor equal to 0.

The value of x is 3 and -7. Therefore, the option C is correct.

The cost price of a box and a pen is Rs 80 The box is sold at 10% profit and the pen is sold at 20% loss. If the selling price o
uysha [10]

Answer:

61.84%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the box be x. Since the price of the box and the pen is Rs 80, the pen's price can be represented as 80 - x. The box is sold at a ten percent profit, and an added ten percent is equal to 1.1. Therefore, the price the box sells at is 1.1(x). A 20% loss is the same a keeping 80% or multiplying by 0.8. This means the pen sold at 0.8(80 - x). Now, we are given the box went for Rs 28 more than the pen, so we can create an equation:

1.1x = 0.8(80 - x) + 28

We can simplify and solve:

1.1x = 64 - 0.8x + 28

1.9x = 92

x = 92/1.9

x = 920/19

The cost of the box after the increase would be 1.1(920/19) and the pen would be 0.8(80 - 920/19).

The sum of these two can be written as a percent x of 80.

80x = 0.8(80 - 920/19) + 1.1(920/19)

80x = 64 - 0.8(920/19) + 1.1(920/9)

80x = 64 - 0.3(920/19)

80x = 64 - 276/19

80x = 940/19

x = 940/1520

x = 0.6184

This is 61.84%
