1
Add 2 to both sides:
Divide both sides by -4 (this is negative, so we have to swap the inequality sign):
2
Expand the left hand side:
Add 8 and y to both sides:
Divide both sides by 3
3-4
Nothing different from 1 and 2, apply the same logic (expand sides, gather constant and non-constant terms together, solve for the variable) and you will solve them
Here the right side of the 2 equations (which are different) both equal y
so 0 solutions
We can set up an equation: x * (x + 5) = 564, where x is the length of the rectangle we are trying to solve. Using the quadratic formula to solve this, we eventually come up with approximately 21.38 as a value for x. We can verify this by typing 21.38 * (21.38 + 5) into a calculator and seeing that it approximately equals 564.
X = log (base b) y
The base of the log becomes the base of the exponent.
The x and y switch.
b^x = y
