x=3, you can find this by using finding common bases for equation b because 243=3^5. Because of that you can get rid of three on both sides to get the equation 2x-1=5 and then just solve for x to get x=3. For the first equation 5^3=625 so that also proves x=3.

Answer:
C Both the mean and median are appropriate measures of center.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x=68/11 and y=-72/11
Steps:
2(x+4y=-20)
2x+8y=-40
2x - 3y = 32
- 2x + 8y = -40
-11y=72
y=-72/11
x + 4(-72/11) = -20
x - 288/11 = -20
x=68/11
