2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

4 + (-3) = 1 because the signs mismatch, something cannot be both positive or negative. When the signs are the same, whether it be both positive or both negative, the answer will always be positive, while if the signs are mismatching the answer will always be negative.

Log; (3x+2) = log,(4x-6)

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

log x = log y ⇔ x = y

Given

log(3x + 2) = log(4x - 6), then

4x - 6 = 3x + 2 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

x - 6 = 2 ( add 6 to both sides )

x = 8

In a school election, Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne, Neal recurved twenty less votes than Juan, and Kerry got hal

77julia77 [94]

Votes received by Wayne is 112

Solution:

To find: votes received by Wayne

Let the vote received by Wayne be "x"

Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Therefore,

Juan votes = 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Juan votes = 4x ---- eqn 1

Neal received twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = Juan votes - 20

Neal votes = 4x - 20 ---- eqn 2

Kerry got half as many votes as Neal

Kerry votes = half of neal votes

Kerry votes = $\frac{4x - 20}{2}$ ---- eqn 3

The total votes cast in the election was 1,202

Wayne votes + Juan votes + Neal votes + Kerry votes = 1202

Plug in eqn 1 , eqn 2, eqn 3

$x + 4x + 4x - 20 + \frac{(4x - 20)}{2} = 1202\\\\2x + 8x + 8x - 40 + 4x - 20 = 1202 \times 2\\\\22x - 60 = 2404\\\\22x = 2404 + 60\\\\22x = 2464\\\\x = 112$

Therefore votes received by Wayne is 112
