50=3x+b. you never specify the variable that replaces b
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three possible cases:
1. Point N lies between M and P, then MN + NP = MP. Consider needed difference:

2. Point N lies to the right from point P, then MP + PN = MN. Consider needed difference:

3. Point N lies to the left from point M, then NM + MP = NP. Consider needed difference:

Answer:
A) x = (-8log(6)-2log(17))/(-2log(17)+log(6))
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of the equation, you have ...
(x+8)log(6) = (2x-2)log(17)
Subtracting the right side from the equation gives ...
x(log(6) -2log(17)) +8log(6)+2log(17) = 0
Subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...
x = -(8log(6) +2log(17))/(log(6) -2log(17)) . . . . . matches selection A
___
You don't need to work out the whole solution to determine the correct answer choice. Once you take the initial log, you find that the x-coefficient includes a multiplier of 2log(17). This term only appears in the denominator of choice A. (The value of x will be found after dividing by the x-coefficient, so you know this must show up in the denominator of the answer.)
