Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of logarithms
b = 1
That is the logarithm of a number to the same base is 1
Given
5 = x , hence x = 1
1) first pick red 5/9 blue 4/9
2) second pick when red has been picked red now becomes 4/8, blue stays 4/8
2) Second pick when blue has been picked blue now becomes 3/8, red stays 5/8
Mind you, you only need both different colours so:
first pick red 5/9 x sec pick blue 4/8 = 20/72
and first pick blue 4/9 x sec pick red 5/8 = 20/72
add both up 20/72 + 20/72 = 40/72 = 5/9
Since we are finding the inverse you switch the variable. So it is now x=7y+2 and now you solve for y. You would get x-2/7 = y for the inverse
