Answer:
x = - 5, x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rules of logarithms
log x - log y = log (
)
x = n ⇔ x = 
note that log x =
x
Given
log (x² + 3x) - log10 = 0, then
log(
) = 0, thus
=
= 1 ( multiply both sides by 10 )
x² + 3x = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )
x² + 3x - 10 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
Solution is x = - 5, x = 2
Let the cost of one cup of hot chocolate be = x
Let the cost of one cup of hot tea be = y
Paul paid $ 25.50 for 3 cups of hot chocolate and 4 cups of tea.
Equation becomes =
...(1)
As given, the cost of each cup of tea was 2/3 the cost of each cup of hot chocolate.
.... (2)
Putting the value of y from (2) in (1)

=
=
=
x=4.5

=
y =3
Hence each cup of hot chocolate is $4.50
Each cup of tea is $3.
The area of the rectangle is 1,440 cm2.
Answer:
1/8 pound of trail mix in each bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
She divides it into bags
4 1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8 pound
All you have to do is go in the order of operations, and your answer is simple:
<span>6² / (6+3) + 18 / 3 - 3²
= 36 / (9) + 6 - 9
= 4 + 3
= 1</span>
