X = 36/5
Or x = 7.2

21 + x = 6x - 15
21 = 6x - 15 - x
21 = 5x - 15
21 + 15 = 5x
36 = 5x
36/5 = x

7+x/3 = 2x-5

multiply both sides by 3

21+x =6x-15

move the 6

21+x-6x = -15

move the 21

x-6x = -15-21

combine like terms

-5x = -15-21

divide both sides:

-5x = -36

answer: x = 36/5

Given:

The equation is,

$2\log _3x-\log _3(x-2)=2$

Explanation:

Simplify the equation by using logarthimic property.

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _3x-\log _3(x-2)=2 \\ \log _3x^2-\log _3(x-2)=2_{}\text{ \lbrack{}log(a)-log(b) = log(a/b)\rbrack} \\ \log _3\lbrack\frac{x^2}{x-2}\rbrack=2 \end{gathered}$

Simplify further.

$\begin{gathered} \log _3\lbrack\frac{x^2}{x-2}\rbrack=2 \\ \frac{x^2}{x-2}=3^2 \\ x^2=9(x-2) \\ x^2-9x+18=0 \end{gathered}$

Solve the quadratic equation for x.

$\begin{gathered} x^2-6x-3x+18=0 \\ x(x-6)-3(x-6)=0 \\ (x-6)(x-3)=0 \end{gathered}$

From the above equation (x - 6) = 0 or (x - 3) = 0.

For (x - 6) = 0,

$\begin{gathered} x-6=0 \\ x=6 \end{gathered}$

For (x - 3) = 0,

$\begin{gathered} x-3=0 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$

The values of x from solving the equations are x = 3 and x = 6.

Substitute the values of x in the equation to check answers are valid or not.

For x = 3,

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _3(3^{})-\log _3(3-2)=2 \\ 2\log _33-\log _31=2 \\ 2\cdot1-0=2 \\ 2=2 \end{gathered}$

Equation satisfy for x = 3. So x = 3 is valid value of x.

For x = 6,

$\begin{gathered} 2\log _36-\log _3(6-2)=2 \\ 2\log _36-\log _34=2 \\ \log _3(6^2)-\log _34=2 \\ \log _3(\frac{36}{4})=2 \\ \log _39=2 \\ \log _3(3^2)=2 \\ 2\log _33=2 \\ 2=2 \end{gathered}$

Equation satifies for x = 6.

Thus values of x for equation are x = 3 and x = 6.

3x^2 + 14x<br>how do you factories this

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

x(3x+14)

Step-by-step explanation:

what do those terms share? they share the letter "x"

therefore we multiply x by 3x^2/x + 14x/x

3x^2/x = 3x and 14x/x = 14
