X<3 and here's why hope this helps
Notice how the x-2 on the numerator and denominator cancel out, as well as the x+1. You are left with 8(x+2)/4 which is 2(x+2) which results in your answer, B, or 2x+4.
Answer:
x = −3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is
log(2x + 6) + 8 = 3
We combine first subtract 8 on both sides
log(2x + 6) + 8-8 = 3 -8
log(2x + 6) = -5
The log is to base 10
Thus;
10 ⁻⁵ = 2x + 6
0.00001 = 2x + 6
2x = 0.00001 -6
2x = -5.99999
Dividing both sides by 2
x = - 2.999995
<u> ≈ - 3</u>
