Answer:x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

log(3x-1)+log2=log4+log(x+2)

log(2(3x-1))=log(4(x+2))

Cancel log on both sides

2(3x-1)=4(x+2)

Open brackets

6x-2=4x+8

Collect like terms

6x-4x=8+2

10x=10

Divide both sides by 10

10x/10=10/10

x=1

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

log(3x-1)+log2=log4+log(x+2)

log(2(3x-1))=log(4(x+2))

Cancel log on both sides

2(3x-1)=4(x+2)

Open brackets

6x-2=4x+8

Collect like terms

6x-4x=8+2

2x=10

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2=10/2

x=5

Find the equation of a line that goes through the points (-3,5) and (5,-11)

Rasek [7]

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-11}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-11}-\stackrel{y1}{5}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{5}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}}\implies \cfrac{-16}{5+3}\implies \cfrac{-16}{8}\implies -2$

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{5}=\stackrel{m}{-2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}) \\\\\\ y-5-2(x+3)\implies y-5=-2x-6\implies y=-2x-1$
