Answer:

y - x = - 2 b

Step-by-step explanation:

Given-

3 x + 2 y = 5 a + b...................(i)

4 x - 3 y = a + 7 b.....................(ii)

<em><u>Multiply by 3 and 2 in equation (i) & (ii) respectively-</u></em>

<em><u>Add equation (iii) &  (iv)-</u></em>

9 x + 6 y = 15 a + 3 a...................(iii)

<u>8 x - 6 y = 2 a + 14 b</u> ...................(iv)

17 x = 17 a + 17 b

<u>x = a + b</u>

Put x = a + b in equation (i)-

<em>2 y = 5 a + b - 3 a - 3 b</em>

<em>2 y = 2 a - 2 b</em>

<u>y = a - b </u>

<em>∴ y - x = a - b - ( a + b )</em>

<em>y - x = a - b - a - b</em>

y - x = - 2 b

Fill in the steps to solve the log log base x of (2x)^3=6​
arsen [322]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

logx (2x)^3 = 6

We can rewrite without the exponent

3 logx (2x) = 6

Divide by 3

3/3 logx (2x) = 6/3

logx (2x) = 2

Raise each side to the base x

x^ logx (2x) =x^ 2

2x = x^2

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x = x^2 -2x

0 = x^2 -2x

Factor an x

0 = x(x-2)

Using the zero product property

x =0 x-2 =0

x =0  x=2

We cannot have a base of 0, so x cannot equal 0

x=2
