Answer:
X = 3, -1; B
Step-by-step explanation:
Use log properties, log 5 on both sides, log 5 of 25 is 2 that times the exponent, so 2*x = 2x, and on the other side, log 5 and base of 5 cancels. So 2x = x^2 -3, which can be solved using factoring:
x^2 -2x -3 = (x-3)(x+1) = 0, x=3,-1
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
The handshake problem!
Each of the five will play against 4 others, but since A vs B can be considered the same game as B vs A, so there are 5*4/2=10 matches.
You will have to divide 140 by 8 and it will give u P you already know R equals 8
For 3x + 12 + x, do like terms:
4x + 12
For 4(3 + x), multiply
12 + 4x
They are both the same, just written in different ways. One is adding like terms and the other is multiplying with parentheses. Even though it may be switched around, it is still the same.
Hope this helps :)
