Answer:
x =35.
Step-by-step explanation:
x / 20 = 14 / 8
Cross multiply:
8x = 20*14
8x = 280
x = 35.
We have to write
In log form
To convert exponential equation to log equation, we have to use the following rule
So we will get
or
And that's the required log form .
The equation is 314 = 1,200 - 240x
1,200 is the number of M&M's it starts with
The problem said the family eats 1/5th of the candy every day
1/5 of 1,200 is 240
It is a -240 because the amount of m&m's is getting fewer each day
The x stands for the number of days
Sorry but I'm not sure if I could answer your problem exactly
The answer is 3.69 days
Because there isn't an exact day that there would exactly 314 M&M's left
