3x +2= 5x
-3x
2= 2x
/2
1= x
So first I got all the x’s on one side and the whole numbers on the other side. So we had 2 on one side and 2x on the other. From there we divided by the number of x’s which was 2 so we can get one x only. So 2/2= 1 so x =1
Answer:
Infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, you can solve this easily by elimination. Multiply the first equation by -2 in order to cancel out terms when adding to the second equation.
2) Then, add the new set of equations together. However, everything cancels out, bringing us to 0 = 0. This means that the lines the equations make must be the same. Thus, all real numbers must make this equation true, meaning that there are infinite solutions.
This is because logarithm has its own set of properties that is different from algebra. The term log(3x - 1) is equivalent to log 3x/log 1. If we continue to rearrange and find x, the solution would be:
log(3x - 1) = log28
log 3x/log 1 = log 28
log 3x = log 28 * log 1 = 0
3x = 10⁰ = 1
3x = 1
x = 1/3
<em>So, that means 3x - 1 = 3(1/3) - 1 = 0.</em>
This would be 11.83 I hope you pass your test/quiz :)
