Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - (x - 4) = -20

~Simplify

4x - x + 4

~Subtract 4 to both sides

3x = -24

~Divide 3 to both sides

x = -8

Best of Luck!

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - (x - 4) = - 20

Distribute the minus sign

4x - x +4 = -20

Combine like terms

3x+4 = -20

Subtract 4 from each side

3x+4-4 = -20-4

3x = -24

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -24/3

x = -8

What is the true solution to the logarithmic equation?<br>log2 [log2(sqrt4x)]=1

erastova [34]

Answer:4

Step-by-step explanation:

log₂[log₂(√4x)] = 1

log₂2 =1

So we replace our 1 with log₂2

log₂[log₂(√4x)] = log₂2

log₂ on bothside will cancel each other.

We will be left with;

[log₂(√4x)] = 2

log = power of exponential

√4x = 2²

√4x = 4

Square bothside

(√4x)² = 4²

4X = 16

Divide bothside by 4

4x/4 = 16/4

x = 4
