You have to look at the equation and find a common factor bettween all parts. SO, we see they all have an x, so that is the first thing you can factor out. They also have 
2x(5x2 4x -3) C
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is 

We take logarithm of both sides to base 10.


We expand the brackets to get;

Group similar terms;




To the nearest hundredth.

 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
p = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:

So

10/2 = 5
Then 

Finding p:



 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
slope: ½
y-intercept: -4½
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope: negative reciprocal of -2
-1/-2 = 1/2
y = ½x + c
-6 = ½(-3) + c
-6 = -3/2 + c
c = -6 + 3/2
c = -9/2 = -4½
