Let the total number of pencils be x, then this implies that Maggie received x/2 pencils from Katie. Maggie keeps 5 and give the rest to Jamil, this means

that Jamil receives

x/2-5 pencils.

b. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: x/2-5

Substitute x=16 in this expression: x/2-5

Simplify and evaluate: = 8-5= 3

Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Expression of pencils given to Jamil is: x/2-5 to

Equate this expression with 1 to form an equation and solve for x all, the total

number of pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil:

x/2 - 5 = 1

Solve for x:

x = 2(1+ 5)

Evaluate:

x = 2(6) = 12

Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.

RESULT

a. Expression of number of pencils given to Jamil is x/2-5, where x is total number of pencils.

b. Maggie gives 3 pencils to Jamil.

c. Katie had 12 pencils if Jamil received 1 pencil.

Which expression is equivalent to log3 c/9?

stepladder [879]

Hello!

There is an existing logarithmic property that states that $log \frac{M}{N}$ is equal to $log M-logN$ .

Following that property, we can tell that $log \frac{c}{9}$ would be equal to $log(c)-log(9)$ .

ANSWER: $log(c)-log(9)$ (third option)
