Start by dividing both sides by 2 to get
. Doing the math on the right, keeping in mind that logs have an unwritten base of 10, gives us
. Rewriting this in exponential form is
. That means that x = 8. Not negative, only positive.
Answer:
Focus of a Parabola. A parabola is set of all points in a plane which are an equal distance away from a given point and given line. The point is called the focus of the parabola and the line is called the directrix. The focus lies on the axis of symmetry of the parabola.

Answer:
The results don't make sense
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
"x" is the number of children's tickets
"y" is the number of adult tickets
Thus:
8 * x + 8.75 * y = 259
x + y = 35 => x = 35 - y
replacing we have:
8 * (35 - y) + 8.75 * y = 259
280 - 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259
- 8 * y + 8.75 * y = 259 - 280
0.75 * y = -21
y = -21 / 0.75
y = -28
Thus:
x = 35 - (-28) = 63
With these results we notice that the problem has inconsistency, since the value of the tickets cannot be given a negative number, I recommend reviewing the problem, since the approach is correct.
Answer:
b = 55 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles 30, a, b and 45 must sum up to 180 degrees
Subtracting (30 + 45) from both sides leaves us with a + b = 105 degrees.
But b = a + 5. Substituting a + 5 in the equation above yields
a + a + 5 = 105 degrees, so that
2a = 100 degrees, and a = 50 degrees. Then b = a + 5, or b = 55 degrees.
