Answer:
b = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
hope it works
I don't think you can solve for x unless they give you what that equation equals (for example 5x+8=7)
I'm pretty sure that is as simplified as it can be
1)
16.90 is about $17
$17 * 3 = 51
6.99 is about $7
7 * 4 = 28
28 + 51 = 79
This is not reasonable because it costs $79, which is more than $75.
7 * 3 = 21
21 + 51 = 72
The customer has enough for 3 supreme pizzas and 3 dessert pizzas.
2)
16.90 is about 17
5.99 is about 6
17 + 6 = 23
23 - 5 = 18
This is reasonable.
3)
14.85 is about 15
6.99 is about 7
15 + 7 = 22
22/100 = 0.22
0.22 * 22 = 4.84
This is reasonable.
4)
16.90 is about 17
14.85 is about 15
5.99 is about 6
6.99 is about 7
17 * 5 = 85
15 * 5 = 75
6 * 5 = 30
7 * 5 = 35
85 + 75 + 30 + 35 = 225
This is reasonable
5)
14.85 + 1.39(4) = 20
1.39 * 4 = 5.56
14.85 + 5.56 = 20.41
This is not reasonable because the total is more then $20.
Answer
A) 2 ln 2 - 2 ln 3
Explanation
Using the laws of logarithms:
ln (x/y) = ln (x) - ln (y)
ln (4/9) = ln (4) - ln (9)
This can be written as
ln (2^2) - ln (3^2)
Another law is:
ln (n^m) = m ln(n)
So finally:
2ln (2) - 2ln 3
