Answer:

x=2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

4x+2=12

\implies4x=10

Taking log both the sides we have,  

log\,4x=log\,10

\implies log\,4 + log\,x=log\,10 \left\:\: [ \because log\,ab = log\, a + log\, b\right ]

\implies log\,x=log\,10 -log\,4

\implies log\,x={ log\,(\frac{10}{4}) \:\:\left [\because log\,a -log\,b= log\,\frac{a}{b} \right ]

\implies log\,x=log\,2.5

\implies \frac{log\,x}{log\,2.5}=1

\implies log_{(2.5)}\, x=1\:\:\left [ \because log_{b}\,a=\frac{log\,a}{log\,b} \right ]

\implies x=(2.5)^{1}\:\: [ \because log_{b}\,a=m \implies a=b^{m} ]

Hence, we have x=2.5

Define algebraic expression​
expeople1 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

In mathematics, an algebraic expression is an expression built up from integer constants, variables, and the algebraic operations. For example, 3x² − 2xy + c is an algebraic expression. Since taking the square root is the same as raising to the power, is also an algebraic expression.

GIVE OUT BRAINLY 2) Kathleen is a sales associate in a jewelry store. She earns $560/wk plus an 8% commission on sales. How much
aev [14]

700<=560+0.08x

x is total sales $

the 560 is the constant weekly pay, since we're only calculating for one week.

we're adding 0.08x to account for the 8% of the total sales

solve it for x:

700-560 <= 0.08x

140 <= 0.08x

1750 <= x

or x >= 1750

meaning she needs $1750 worth of sales that week to earn atleast $700

as for C) just draw a number line with the number 1750 in the middle and the right shaded because it is 1750 or more.
