Hence,

Sam would have to get a 97 on his next test in order to maintain his average score at an 85. This is because if you add up 63, 84, 96, and 97 you get 340. When you divide 340 by the 4 test scores you get an average of exactly 85
Answer:
(c) x = 2 and x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
The rules of logarithms let you rewrite this as a quadratic equation. That equation will have two (2) potential solutions. We know from the domain of the log function that any negative value of x will be an extraneous solution.
__
The rules of logarithms that apply are ...

__
<h3>take antilogs</h3>
We can rewrite the equation so that only one logarithm is involved. Then we can take antilogs.

__
<h3>solve the quadratic</h3>
Adding (6/2)² = 9 to both sides will "complete the square."
16 +9 = x² +6x +9 . . . . . . . add 9
25 = (x +3)²
±√25 = x +3 = ±5 . . . . . take the square root(s)
x = -3 ±5 = {-8, +2}
The two potential solutions are x = 2 and x = -8.
