Answer:
x = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 10 = 42, then you subtract 10 from both sides to get 32
If you plug in the x and y of choice b you would see that it does not equal 18.
6(3) + 3(-1) = 18
18 + (-3) = 15
Answer:
x = 1
Explanation:

Rule: log(a) + log(b) = log(ab)

cancel out log on both sides

relocate constant variable

take 3 as a common factor

divide both sides by 3

middle term split

factor common terms

collect into groups

set to zero

relocate variables

There must be a positive solution for log, so the solution is only x = 1
