You can't. That's as simplified as it gets :)
The correct answer is 40. Hope that helps!
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The division problem given to us is
.
To perform the synthetic division, we write out the coefficient of the polynomial. We set the linear factor to zero and solve for x, this becomes our divisor. That is
.
We carry out the synthetic division as shown in the attachment.
The result of the synthetic division is 4 -27 167 -996
The first three terms are the coefficients of the quotient and the last term is the remainder.
Therefore the quotient is
and the remainder is
.
The dividend, the quotient and the divisor are written as

The correct answer is A
log(x) + log(3) = log(18)
log(x) + 0.477121 = 1.255273
Add -0.477121 to both sides.
log(x) + 0.477121 + −0.477121 = 1.255273 + −0.477121
log(x)+0 = 0.778152
Divide both sides by 1.
log(x)+0/1 = 0.778152/1
log(x)=0.778152
Solve Logarithm
log(x) = 0.778152
10log(x) = 100.778152
x = 100.778152
x = 6.00001
