Log(4k - 5) = log(2k - 1)
log(4k) - log(5) = log(2k) - log(1)

Answer:
B. Beth's age is 18 years, and Sally's age is 42 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this question in a couple of different ways. First, you can use process of elimination. You know that Sally is older than Beth because she has to be 3 times older 6 years ago, so you can get rid of options C and D because they both show Beth as being older. Now you only have A and B, and you can use a different process. Now from just looking at it, you can tell that A actually already shows Sally as 3 times Beth's age, 15 * 3 = 45. If you go to B, you can go ahead and subtract 6 from 18 (Beth's age) which will give you 12, and then multiply that by 3 to get 36. Now if you take 42 (Sally's age) and subtract 6 from it as well, you will get 36. This means that is lines up. To simplify, you are subtracting 6 from both 18 and 42, and then you are multiplying the lower number by 3 to see if it gets to the bigger number.

Answer: 1 3/4 cups of apples in each batch
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP 1
Writing out the equation to represent if 7 cups of apples make 4 batches One batch is as a result of how many cups of apples
LET x be number of cups of apples to make each batch
7 cups of apples = 4 Batches
x cups of apples = 1 Batch
STEP 2 Solving by cross multiplication
1 batch x 7 cups of apples = 4 batches X x cups of apples
x cups of apples=1 batch x 7 cups of apples / 4batches
x = 7 / 4 = 1 3/4
number of cups of apples to make each batch= 1 3/4
