Solve the equation. Round to the nearest hundredth. Show work.

Burka [1]

Answer:

$x=-0.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$4^{-5x-7}=6^{2x-1}$

We take logarithm of both sides to base 10.

$\log(4^{-5x-7})=\log(6^{2x-1})$

$(-5x-7)\log(4)=(2x-1)\log(6)$

We expand the brackets to get;

$-5x\log(4)-7\log(4)=2x\log(6)-\log(6)$

Group similar terms;

$-7\log(4)+\log(6)=2x\log(6)+5x\log(4)$

$-7\log(4)+\log(6)=(2\log(6)+5\log(4))x$

$\frac{-7\log(4)+\log(6)}{(2\log(6)+5\log(4))}=x$

$x=-0.752478$

To the nearest hundredth.

$x=-0.75$

Can you simplify 14x+11 please??

ad-work [718]

Answer:

It cannot be further simplified

Step-by-step explanation:

11 is a prime number, so there are no numbers that can go into 14 and 11 (besides 1 and 1 would not simplify the problem)
