Compatible numbers are numbers that are close in value to the actual numbers and easy to add, subtract, multiply, or divide mentally. They are useful in estimating the sum, difference, product, or quotient.
log₉(<em>x</em> - 7) + log₉(<em>x</em> - 7) = 1
2 log₉(<em>x</em> - 7) = 1
log₉(<em>x</em> - 7) = 1/2
Take the base-9 antilogarithm of both sides; in other words, make both sides powers of 9:

can also be written as √9 = 3, and
, so the equation reduces to
<em>x</em> - 7 = 3
Solve for <em>x</em> :
<em>x</em> = 10
Negative x ( -x) is the opposite of x
When x = 71, then -x would be -71
Answer:
it would be first one, 150/600
Step-the by-step explanation:
Why, because 25% of 600 is 150
