Since both sides have the same base (4), we can add the exponents
subtract 5 from both sides:
Answer:
x=√−16n−28 or x=−√−16n−28
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add -16n to both sides.
x2+16n+28+−16n=0+−16n
x2+28=−16n
Step 2: Add -28 to both sides.
x2+28+−28=−16n+−28
x2=−16n−28
Step 3: Take square root.
x=√−16n−28 or x=−√−16n−28
<h3>
Answer: The year 2020</h3>
Explanation:
x is the number of years since 1988
x = 0 represents the year 1988
x = 1 is the year 1988+1 = 1989
x = 2 is the year 1988+2 = 1990
etc
x = 32 is the year 1988+32 = 2020
Y=1020-85x because since it's a decrease it would be goung do, hence the subtraction
