5x + 9 = x - 23

move x to the other side

sign changes from +x to -x

5x-x+9= x-x-23 ( combine like terms)

5x-x+9= -23

4x+9= -23

move -9 to the other side

4x+9-9= -23-9

4x= -23-9

4x= -32

divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself

4x/4= -32/4

answer:

x= -8

Answer:

X=7 X=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x^2 -6x -7) you saw that the common denominator was 4 so you divided everything by it.

(X-7)(X+1) Two numbers that multiplied give-7 and added -6 are those

X=7 X=1 equating those parenthesis to 0 gives you that

Please help, explain in words the steps needed to solve this problem

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Product Rule of Logarithms, the logarithm of the product of numbers is the sum of the logarithms of the numbers.

$log(x) + log(x - 1) = log(x(x - 1)) = log( {x}^{2} - x ) = log(3x + 12)$

Raise both sides to the power of 10 to eliminate the logs, obtaining:

${x}^{2} - x = 3x + 12$

${x}^{2} - 4x - 12 = 0$

$(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0$

x = -2 or x = 6. Since x = -2 is extraneous, it follows that x = 6.
