This is because logarithm has its own set of properties that is different from algebra. The term log(3x - 1) is equivalent to log 3x/log 1. If we continue to rearrange and find x, the solution would be:
log(3x - 1) = log28
log 3x/log 1 = log 28
log 3x = log 28 * log 1 = 0
3x = 10⁰ = 1
3x = 1
x = 1/3
<em>So, that means 3x - 1 = 3(1/3) - 1 = 0.</em>
Answer:
<h2>There are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- Max has $5.50.
- He has eight more quarters than he does nickels.
- He had four times as many dimes as he has nickels.
From these statements, we can deduce algebraical expressions to solve the problem. Let's call
quarters,
nickels and
dimes.
(8 more quarters than nickels)
(he has four times as many dimes as he has nickels).
(Max has a total of $5.50, one quartes is $0.25, one nickel is $0.05 and one dime is $0.10).
Let's replace the first two expressions into the third equation

There are 5 nickels.
Now, we use this value to find the number of quarters

There are 13 quarters.
Also, 
There are 20 dimes.
Therefore, there are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.
