Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
minus 3x on both sides
after you've subtracted 3x from both sides you then need to minus 12 from both sides
Last step is going to be dividing by 2 and you should get the answer of 3
I got (-6.28, -0.76).
Step 1.) Write out the problems
-2x=8-6y
-15x=21-6y
Step 2.) Pick a problem and solve for X
-2x=8-6y = x=-4-3y
Step 3.) Plug in the x
(-15)(-4-3y)= 21-6y
60 + 45y= 21-6y
Step 4.) Solve for y
y=-0.76
Step 5.) Plug in the y value into one of the equations
-2x= 8- 6(-0.76)
-2x= 8 + 4.56
x= -6.28
Step 6.) Check your answers
-2(-6.28)=8-6(-0.76)
12.56=12.56
Step 7.) Write it out
(-6.28,-0.76)
Answer:
The base (b) has to be positive and different of 1. The logarithm is the inverse of exponential, so:
logb(a) = x ⇒ a = bˣ
So, for b = 0 ⇒ 0ˣ = a
And there is impossible, "a" only could be 0.
For b = 1 ⇒ 1ˣ = a
And the same thing would happen, the logarithming would be to be 1, and the function will be extremally restricted.
For b<0, then the expression a = bˣ will be also restricted, and will not represent all values of a.
So, 0<b<1 and b >1.
