Let's form the difference of the two expressions and see what we can learn.

(2y -x) -(2x -y) = 2y -x -2x +y = 3y -3x = 3(y -x)

Since y > x, this is positive, so 2y -x is greater than 2x -y.

How do you solve this equation log(3x+1)=5

Len [333]

$log_{10} 3x+1=5$

$3x+1=10^5$

$3x+1=100000$

$3x=99999$

$x=333333$

Just remember that in the form of $log_ab=x$ , you get $a^x=b$ .

Answer: b+95+34=180, b+129=180, 51

Step-by-step explanation:

b+95+34=180 works because the angles add to form a straight angle.

From this, we can obtain b+129=180 by adding the two constants.

Subtracting 129 from both sides, we get b=51.
