Answer:

24,26,28

Step-by-step explanation:

78 divided by 3 is 26, which means that 26 is the middle number and the next even number that is lower and bigger are the other two integers. You divide it by 3 because it's 3 consecutive even intergers

Multiply.<br>(v+8)(v-8)<br>simplify

san4es73 [151]

V * v = v^2
v * -8 = -8v
8 * v = 8v
8 * -8 = -64

v^2 - 8v + 8v - 64
v^2 - 64

3^x= 3*2^x solve this equation

kompoz [17]

In the equation

$3^x = 3\cdot 2^x$

divide both sides by $2^x$ to get

$\dfrac{3^x}{2^x} = 3 \cdot \dfrac{2^x}{2^x} \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac32\right)^x = 3$

Take the base-3/2 logarithm of both sides:

$\log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac32\right)^x = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies x \log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac 32\right) = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = \log_{3/2}(3)}$

Alternatively, you can divide both sides by $3^x$ :

$\dfrac{3^x}{3^x} = \dfrac{3\cdot 2^x}{3^x} \\\\ \implies 1 = 3 \cdot\left(\dfrac23\right)^x \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac23\right)^x = \dfrac13$

Then take the base-2/3 logarith of both sides to get

$\log_{2/3}\left(2/3\right)^x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac23\right) = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(3^{-1}\right) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = -\log_{2/3}(3)}$
