If you were to correctly simplify this equation, the answer would be a negative.
The answer is: n = -5
Here's how I got my answer:
Step 1: Add 3 to both sides. Which leaves us with
Step 2: Simplify to 45. Which leaves us with
Step 3: Divide both sides by -9. Which leaves us with
Step 4: Simplify , to get your answer, n = -5.
Answer:
x = 4
which agrees with the third listed answer among the given options
Step-by-step explanation:
We can re-write the logarithmic equation using the properties of logarithms:
Therefore, the arguments of the log functions must also be equal (and we can solve for "x" by noticing that this expression is the perfect square of a binomial:
and for this equation to verify, x must be 4
