Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You know how subtraction is the <em>opposite of addition </em>and division is the <em>opposite of multiplication</em>? A logarithm is the <em>opposite of an exponent</em>. You know how you can rewrite the equation 3 + 2 = 5 as 5 - 3 = 2, or the equation 3 × 2 = 6 as 6 ÷ 3 = 2? This is really useful when one of those numbers on the left is unknown. 3 + _ = 8 can be rewritten as 8 - 3 = _, 4 × _ = 12 can be rewritten as 12 ÷ 4 = _. We get all our knowns on one side and our unknown by itself on the other, and the rest is computation.
We know that 
; as a logarithm, the <em>exponent</em> gets moved to its own side of the equation, and we write the equation like this: 
, which you read as "the logarithm base 3 of 9 is 2." You could also read it as "the power you need to raise 3 to to get 9 is 2."
One historical quirk: because we use the decimal system, it's assumed that an expression like 
uses <em>base 10</em>, and you'd interpret it as "What power do I raise 10 to to get 1000?"
The expression 
means "the power you need to raise 10 to to get 100 is x," or, rearranging: "10 to the x is equal to 100," which in symbols is .
(If we wanted to, we could also solve this: 
, so 
)
Answer:
The sum is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
When you add a negative number to a positive number, it is basically just subtracting the negative from the positive. To make it simple, 5 + -4 is just 5 - 4.
Hannah was wrong in saying you take the sign of the larger number because it would not matter if the first number was a million, the signs don't change based on the size of numbers.
So basically the x will want to be singled out and 3/2-y=the variable
