Answer:

d. -4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that log (a/b) = log a - log b

Since log a = 1.2 and log b = 5.6 , we can substitute these values into the equation.

log (a/b) = 1.2 - 5.6

= -4.4

The top two answers are equivalent, while the bottom one is not. You would use distributive property in the parentheses. If both expressions are the same, they are equivalent

Find x and y 30 points

Since the two triangles are similar

$\frac{5 + x}{5} = \frac{7 + y}{7} = \frac{10}{8} \\ \implies \frac{5 + x}{5} = \frac{10}{8} \\ \implies x = \frac{50}{8} - 5 = \frac{50 - 40}{8} = \frac{10}{8} = \frac{5}{4} \\ \therefore x = \frac{5}{4}$
