Tanzania [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1: Taking the log of both sides...

So take the log of both sides...

5^(2x + 1) = 25

log 5^(2x + 1) = log 25 <-- use property: log (a^x) = x log a...

(2x + 1)log 5 = log 25 <-- distribute log 5 inside the brackets...

(2x)log 5 + log 5 = log 25 <-- subtract log 5 both sides of the equation...

(2x)log 5 + log 5 - log 5 = log 25 - log 5

(2x)log 5 = log (25/5) <-- use property: log a - log b = log (a/b)

(2x)log 5 = log 5 <-- divide both sides by log 5

(2x)log 5 / log 5 = log 5 / log 5 <--- this equals 1..

2x = 1

x=1/2

Method 2

5^(2x+1)=5^2

2x+1=2

2x=1

x=1/2

Substitution. (6 points) <br> 3x + 2y = 11 <br> y = 5x - 1<br><br> {show work}
nexus9112 [7]
3x+2y=11
y=5x-1

Substitute the y in the first equation:
3x+2(5x-1)=11
y=5x-1

3x+10x-2=11
y=5x-1

13x=13
y=5x-1

Now substitute the x to find the y:
x=1
y=5-1=4
