Answer:
3. The number of students that rode on each bus
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation they give us is:
2b + 6 = 70
The question already tells us that in this equation:
2 is the 2 buses that the school hired
6 is the 6 leftover kids who couldn't fit on the 2 buses
The question also tells us that the 2 buses only have a total of 64 seats, so 32 seats on 1 bus (64/2 = 32).
So that means b would equal the 32 seats on 1 bus, or the number of students that rode on each bus.

Answer:
Yes they jave proportional corresponding sides
Answer:
use logarithms
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of an expression with a variable in the exponent makes the exponent become a coefficient of the logarithm of the base.

You will note that this approach works well enough for ...
a^(x+3) = b^(x-6) . . . . . . . . . . . variables in the exponents
(x+3)log(a) = (x-6)log(b) . . . . . a linear equation after taking logs
but doesn't do anything to help you solve ...
x +3 = b^(x -6)
There is no algebraic way to solve equations that are a mix of polynomial and exponential functions.

Some functions have been defined to help in certain situations. For example, the "product log" function (or its inverse) can be used to solve a certain class of equations with variables in the exponent. However, these functions and their use are not normally studied in algebra courses.
In any event, I find a graphing calculator to be an extremely useful tool for solving exponential equations.
5x-2+3x=17+12x-23 combine like terms
8x-2=12x-6
-8x -8x
-2=4x-6
+6 +6
4=4x divide each side by 4
x=1
