Answer:
k = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
log7(-5k - 3) = log7 (-4k)
---> -5k - 3 = -4k
-k - 3 = 0
k = -3
1/12 or decimal form 0.083 with repeating line
Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
Answer:
Maybe D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, use inverse operations:
Now we solve for both +/- 7.
x+6=7
x=1
x+6=-7
x=-13
