- - = + 9-(-4)= 9+4 so minus minus becomes plus. and 13 is the answer.
Apply the rule: 
![3[2 ln(x-1) - lnx] + ln(x+1)=3[ln(x-1)^{2} - lnx ] + ln(x+1)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5B2%20ln%28x-1%29%20-%20lnx%5D%20%2B%20ln%28x%2B1%29%3D3%5Bln%28x-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%20-%20lnx%20%5D%20%2B%20ln%28x%2B1%29)
Apply the rule : 
![3[2 ln(x-1) - lnx] + ln(x+1)=3ln\frac{(x-1)^{2} }{x} + ln(x+1)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5B2%20ln%28x-1%29%20-%20lnx%5D%20%2B%20ln%28x%2B1%29%3D3ln%5Cfrac%7B%28x-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7Bx%7D%20%2B%20ln%28x%2B1%29)
Apply the rule:
![3[ln (x-1)^{2} -ln x]+ln (x+1)= ln \frac{(x-1)^{6} }{x^{3} } +log(x+1)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5Bln%20%28x-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%20-ln%20x%5D%2Bln%20%28x%2B1%29%3D%20ln%20%5Cfrac%7B%28x-1%29%5E%7B6%7D%20%7D%7Bx%5E%7B3%7D%20%7D%20%2Blog%28x%2B1%29)
Finally, apply the rule: log a + log b = log ab
![3[ln(x-1)^{2} -ln x]+log(x+1)=ln\frac{(x-1)^{6}(x+1) }{x^{3} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%5Bln%28x-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%20-ln%20x%5D%2Blog%28x%2B1%29%3Dln%5Cfrac%7B%28x-1%29%5E%7B6%7D%28x%2B1%29%20%7D%7Bx%5E%7B3%7D%20%7D)
Part A:it would be 32 dollars because 60 and 30 percent off is 42 dollars subtract 10 is 32
part b: yes it would be different the new total would be 35 because if you subtract 10 first it would be 50 then 30 percent off is 35
This is the solution to your question.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find 12 percent of 1,150,
12 percent of 1,150 = 138.
Now, add 1,150 + 138,
1,150 + 138 = 1,288
Hope I helped, if not, at least I tried.
