x = 3 or x = 1
note that log 5 is usually taken to mean 
5
using the law of logarithms
logx - logy = log (
)
the right hand side can be expressed as
log 10000 - log 16 = log (
) = log 625
divide both sides by log 5
x² - 4x + 7 = 
= 4
subtract 4 from both sides
x² - 4x + 3 = 0 ← in standard form
(x - 3 )(x - 1) = 0
equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1
" the difference " means subtract
the difference of twice a number and 3...
2x - 3 <== ur expression
Answer:
Do you know theh answer??
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 11.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm base 2 will transform this to a linear equation.
2(2x+7) = 3(2x -3)
0 = 3(2x -3) -2(2x +7) . . . . subtract the left side
0 = 2x -23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0 = x - 23/2 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
11.5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 11.5
The solution is x = 23/2 = 11.5.
_____
<em>Check</em>
This value of x makes the equation become ...
4^(2·23/2 +7) = 8^(2·23/2 -3)
4^30 = 8^20 . . . . . true
