Move all the logarithms on the left hand side, and all the constants on the other:

\log_2(x-2) - \log_2(x) = -1

Use the rule of logarithms

\log_a(b) - \log_a(c) = \log_a\left(\dfrac{b}{c}\right)

To rewrite the equation as

\log_2\left(\dfrac{x-2}{x}\right) = -1

Evaluate 2 to the power of each side:

\dfrac{x-2}{x} = 2^{-1} = \dfrac{1}{2}

Multiply both sides by 2x:

2(x-2) = x \iff 2x-4 = x \iff x = 4

1 + log₂(x - 2) = log₂(x)

1 = log₂(x) - log₂(x - 2)

1 = log₂\frac{x}{x - 2}

2¹ = \frac{x}{x - 2}

2(x - 2) = x

2x - 4 = x

    -4 = -x

     4 = x

Answer: 4

10. The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 11. If the digits are reversed, the new number is 46
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 11.

If the digits are reversed, the new number is 46 more than five times the old number.

If the hundreds digit plus twice the tens digit is equal to the units digit, then what is the number?

:

Write an equation for each statement:

:

"The sum of the digits of a three-digit number is 11."

x + y + z = 11

:

The three digit number = 100x + 10y + z

The reversed number = 100z + 10y + x

:

" If the digits are reversed, the new number is 46 more than five times the old number."

100z + 10y + x = 5(100x + 10y + z) + 46

100z + 10y + x = 500x + 50y + 5z + 46

combine on the right

0 = 500x - x + 50y - 10y + 5z - 100z + 46

499x + 40y - 95z = -46

:

"the hundreds digit plus twice the tens digit is equal to the units digit,"

x + 2y = z

x + 2y - z = 0

:

Three equations, 3 unknowns

:

x + y + z = 11

x +2y - z = 0

-----------------Addition eliminates z

2x + 3y = 11

From the 2nd equation statement, we know that the 1st original digit has to be 1

2(1) + 3y = 11

3y = 11 - 2

3y = 9

y = 3 is the 2nd digit

then

1 + 3 + z = 11

z = 11 - 4

z = 7

:

137 is the original number

:

:

Check solution in the 2nd statement

If the digits are reversed, the new number is 46 more than five times the old number."

731 = 5(137) + 46

731 = 685 + 46

Which ordered pair (p,r) is the solution to the given system of linear equations?
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

(p,r) = (1/3, 2/9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve a system of equations

We can rewrite the second equation by dividing through by 2

So we have;

4p + 3r = 2

and

5p - 3r = 1

Add both equations:

9p = 3

p = 3/9

p = 1/3

Recall ;

5p - 3r = 1

3r = 5p - 1

Substitute the value or p here

3r = 5(1/3)-1

3r = 5/3 - 1

3r = 2/3

r = 2/9

So we have the solution set as;

(p,r) = (1/3 , 2/9)

Kelvin claims that a pol yhedron can have 30 edges , 18 faces and 12 vertices . Do you agree with him ? Explain your answer .
AURORKA [14]
Number of faces + (Number of vertices - Number of edges) = 2
So plugging in the numbers it would then be 
18+(12-30)=2
18-18=2
0=2
Kelvin would be wrong and I disagree with him. (Because ...*plugin work cited above*)
