Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.


Drop the exponents:

Expand the right side:

Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :


Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:



You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,

Answer:
a) #4 vertical angles are congruent
b) # 1 ∠3 ≅ ∠7
c) # 6 Transitive property
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Vertical angles - opposite angles that are equal.
b. corresponding angles - in the same place but on different parallel lines
and are equal.
c. a = b, b = c so a = c
