Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the base is the same, 3, you can just get rid of it using the principles of log. What you're left with is:
2x + 1 = x + 5
Now just solve for x:
2x - x = 5 - 1
x = 4
The answer is +12 because you add on 12
<span>2x-1/4(12x+4)=3
</span>⇒ 2x -1/4*(12x) -1/4*4= 3 (distributive property)
⇒ 2x -3x -1= 3
⇒ -x= 3+1
⇒ -x= 4
⇒ x= -4

Final answer: x=-4~

F(-5) just means that your substituting the number -5 for every x value. So if you have x+1 this would be -5+1 which is -4
