The answer to the question
This is an exponential equation. We will solve in the following way. I do not have special symbols, functions and factors, so I work in this way
2 on (2x) - 5 2 on x + 4=0 =>. (2 on x)2 - 5 2 on x + 4=0 We will replace expression ( 2 on x) with variable t => 2 on x=t =. t2-5t+4=0 => This is quadratic equation and I solve this in the folowing way => t2-4t-t+4=0 => t(t-4) - (t-4)=0 => (t-4) (t-1)=0 => we conclude t-4=0 or t-1=0 => t'=4 and t"=1 now we will return t' => 2 on x' = 4 => 2 on x' = 2 on 2 => x'=2 we do the same with t" => 2 on x" = 1 => 2 on x' = 2 on 0 => x" = 0 ( we know that every number on 0 gives 1). Check 1: 2 on (2*2)-5*2 on 2 +4=0 => 2 on 4 - 5 * 4+4=0 => 16-20+4=0 =. 0=0 Identity proving solution.
Check 2: 2 on (2*0) - 5* 2 on 0 + 4=0 => 2 on 0 - 5 * 1 + 4=0 =>
1-5+4=0 => 0=0 Identity provin solution.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
4x - 5 = x - 1 + 3x
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 4x - 5 = 4x - 1
- Subtract 4x on both sides: -5 ≠ -1
Here we see that -5 does not equal -1.
∴ This equation has no solutions.
The pay rates of these two people are not proportional because if you divide 234 by 36 and 288 by 40, it is shown that Miguel earns $7.20 every hour and Jeremy earns $6.50 per hour. Thus, the pay rates of these two people are not proportional.
