You have to divide 157 by 9 . Hope this helped (:
Answer:
Sry
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
If you meant
, then the answer is approximately 0.866.
If you meant
, then the answer is approximately -2.909 which looks like what you meant based on the choices.
Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to get the exponential part by itself. The part that has the variable exponent which is the
term.
To do this we need to subtract 4 on both sides:

Simplify:

The equivalent logarithmic form is:

I always say to myself the logarithm is the exponent that is how I know what to put opposite the side containing the log.
Anyways if you don't have options for computing
in your calculator you need to use the change of base formula.

So 
I don't see this as a choice so maybe you actually meant the following equation:

Let's see if this is the correct interpretation.
So the exponential part is already isolated.
So we just need to put in the equivalent logarithmic form:

Now we subtract 4 on both sides:

Again if you don't have the option for computing
in your calculator, you will have to use the change of base formula:


You divided in the wrong order. The resulting image always goes first then the preimage is afterward.
scale factor = (new)/(old) = 10/8 = 1.25
<h3>Answer is choice B</h3>
The scale factor is larger than 1, so this means we have an enlargement going on.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok. First of all, we need to follow the order of operations: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. We don't have any parentheses, exponents, or division to resolve, so you can skip those. So now you have: Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. We have multiplication in each term, but each term is fully simplified, so we have Addition and Subtraction left.
With that out of the way, let's go ahead and rearrange this equation so it is easier to solve. (<em>Note: we can only rearrange terms that are positive because subtraction is not commutative. But we can turn negative terms into "positive" terms by the method shown below.</em>)
4a - 7b + 2ab - a + b
4a + (-7b) + 2ab + (-a) + b (<em>Now the terms are all positive, so we can rearrange them, but they still have the same value.</em>)
4a + (-a) + 2ab + (-7b) + b
3a + 2ab + 7b
And there we go. Our answer is fully simplified. If you can understand this, you'll be able to simplify without isolating and rearranging the terms each time.
Hopefully this was helpful and not confusing.
