Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You know how subtraction is the <em>opposite of addition </em>and division is the <em>opposite of multiplication</em>? A logarithm is the <em>opposite of an exponent</em>. You know how you can rewrite the equation 3 + 2 = 5 as 5 - 3 = 2, or the equation 3 × 2 = 6 as 6 ÷ 3 = 2? This is really useful when one of those numbers on the left is unknown. 3 + _ = 8 can be rewritten as 8 - 3 = _, 4 × _ = 12 can be rewritten as 12 ÷ 4 = _. We get all our knowns on one side and our unknown by itself on the other, and the rest is computation.
We know that 
; as a logarithm, the <em>exponent</em> gets moved to its own side of the equation, and we write the equation like this: 
, which you read as "the logarithm base 3 of 9 is 2." You could also read it as "the power you need to raise 3 to to get 9 is 2."
One historical quirk: because we use the decimal system, it's assumed that an expression like 
uses <em>base 10</em>, and you'd interpret it as "What power do I raise 10 to to get 1000?"
The expression 
means "the power you need to raise 10 to to get 100 is x," or, rearranging: "10 to the x is equal to 100," which in symbols is .
(If we wanted to, we could also solve this: 
, so 
)
Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
(-8 × -6) - 4²
48 - 4²
48 - 16 = 32
P - Parentheses
E - Exponents
M - Multiplication
D - Division
A - Addition
S - Subtraction
Given equations are;<span>
2a + 3b = -1 ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2 ....................equation 2</span>
Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)
The equation will be;
-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3
Now multiply equation 2 with (2)
The equation will be;
6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4
Now add equation 3 and equation 4
-6a – 9b = 3
<span>6a + 10b = -4</span>
<span>------------------------------</span>
0a + b = -1
b = -1
Now put the value of b in equation 1
2a + 3(-1) = -1
2a -3 = -1
2a = -1+3
2a = 2
a=1
Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)
