rearrange the equation to where you set it equal to 0 by moving the 25 over.
n2 - 8n -9 = 0
now factor
(n-9)(n+1)
so n1 = 9
n2 = -1
log was used calculate big numbers before calculators
log is a re-arranged way to show a number with an exponent
example
log₂ 16 = 4 means 2^4 = 16
logx(Z) = y means x^y=Z
log(x-6)/log(2) + log(x)/log(2) = 4
(log(x-6)+ log(x))/log(2) = 4
(log(x-6)+ log(x)) = 4log(2)
(log(x-6)x) = log(16)
x=8
Hi, seems like the answer is f(x) = x - 4
Edit: this was my original answer, but I was apparently completely out of my mind when I wrote it. The correct answer is f(x) = -4x + 50, as I stated below. I'm very sorry for any trouble I caused
Answer: 72 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "s" the amount of sugar in grams that must be used for 252 grams of coconut to keep the same ratio of coconut to sugar.
Knowing that in the recipe for the coconut cookies, should be 420 grams of coconut and 120 grams of sugar, and you only have 252 grams of coconut, you can set up this proportion to find "s":

Now, you need to solve for "s":
