Answer:
X=4
Step-by-step explanation:
2X - 10 = -2
2X = 8
X = 8/2
X = 4
Best regards
You might have made an error the first time you solved for x. I got x = -0.5.
When you have your log base 4, the way you cancel that out is by making 4 the base on both sides, so you get 4^(log4) to reduce to 1, and you're left with:
2x + 3 = 4^(1/2) ... Simplify
2x + 3 = 2
2x = -1
x = -1/2
If you plug that back in, everything checks out. Maybe double check your use of logarithm/exponent properties?
For this, we will be using the quadratic formula, which is
, with a=x^2 coefficient, b=x coefficient, and c = constant. Our equation will look like this: 
Firstly, solve the multiplications and the exponents: 
Next, do the addition: 
Next, your equation will be split into two:
. Solve them separately, and your answer will be
