Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
There was actually too much work for this on my paper so I can't really show it, but if you can memorize this parent function I would.

I will solve your system by substitution.<span><span>x=<span><span>3y</span>−1</span></span>;<span><span><span>5x</span>−<span>7y</span></span>=19</span></span>Step: Solve<span>x=<span><span>3y</span>−1</span></span>for x:Step: Substitute<span><span>3y</span>−1</span>forxin<span><span><span><span>5x</span>−<span>7y</span></span>=19</span>:</span><span><span><span>5x</span>−<span>7y</span></span>=19</span><span><span><span>5<span>(<span><span>3y</span>−1</span>)</span></span>−<span>7y</span></span>=19</span><span><span><span>8y</span>−5</span>=19</span>(Simplify both sides of the equation)<span><span><span><span>8y</span>−5</span>+5</span>=<span>19+5</span></span><span>(Add 5 to both sides)

x=<span><span>8<span> and </span></span>y</span></span>=3
Take the natural log of both sides
ln(2^x)=ln(.125)
Xln(2)=ln(.125)
X=ln(.125)/ln(2)
X=-3
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE:
You know that 0.125 is equal to 1/8
And 1/2^3 is also equal to 1/8
So since you need the reciprocal to match it the exponent is a negative
