Hello there!

$3x+7=-x-1\\$

Explanation:

↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

First you had to subtract by 7 from both sides of the equation.

$3x+7-7=-x-1-7$

Simplify

$3x=-x-8$

Then you add by x from both sides of the equation.

$3x+x=-x-8+x$

Simplify

$4x=-8$

Divide by 4 from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{-8}{4}$

Simplify it should be the correct answer.

$x=-2$

Answer⇒⇒⇒x=-2

Hope this helps!

Thank you for posting your question at here on Brainly.

Have a great day!

If log2 5 = k, determine an expression for log32 5 in terms of k.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{1}{5} k$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by using change of base property:

$log_b(x)=\frac{log_a(x)}{log_a(b)}$

So, for $log_2(5)$

$log_2(5)=k=\frac{log(5)}{log(2)}\hspace{10}(1)$

Now, using change of base for $log_3_2(5)$

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{log(5)}{log(32)}$

You can express $32$ as:

$2^5$

Using reduction of power property:

$log_z(x^y)=ylog_z(x)$

$log(32)=log(2^5)=5log(2)$

Therefore:

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{log(5)}{5*log(2)}=\frac{1}{5} \frac{log(5)}{log(2)}\hspace{10}(2)$

As you can see the only difference between (1) and (2) is the coefficient $\frac{1}{5}$ :

So:

$\frac{log(5)}{log(2)} =k\\$

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{1}{5} \frac{log(5)}{log(2)} =\frac{1}{5} k$

Which number sentence is true? O A) 2.3 x 102 > 2000 OB) 3.45 > 1-4.35| OC) 345 > 5:33 825 OD 13

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

D) -2.14< root10 <|-2.8|

Step-by-step explanation:

the value for -2.14 is as plain as you can see, the negative version of 2.14.

The square root of 10 is 3.16227766.

The lines next to -2.8 is asking for the absolute value of -2.8, or the distance between that number and zero. The distance between -2.8 and 0 is positive 2.8, because distance can't be negative.

The 3 numbers taken from the explanations are -2.14, 3.16, and 2.8. Ranking them from least to greatest would give you -2.14, 2.8, 3.16, or -2.14< root10 <|-2.8|

Work out the length of the following rectangles

tiny-mole [99]

(a) a = 10.9 cm

(b) b = 20.78 cm

(c) c = 4.06 cm

<u>Explanation:</u>

(a)

height, h = 5cm

Hypotenuse, H = 12cm

Base, a = ?

Using pythagoras theorm:

(H)² = (h)² + (a)²

(12)² = (5)² + (a)²

119 = a²

a = 10.9 cm

(b)

Hypotenuse, H = 24 cm

Base, a = 12 cm

Height, b = ?

Using pythagoras theorm:

(H)² = (b)² + (a)²

(24)² = (b)² + (12)²

432 = b²

b = 20.78 cm

(c)

height, h = 4 cm

Hypotenuse, H = 5.7 cm

Base, c = ?

Using pythagoras theorm:

(H)² = (h)² + (c)²

(5.7)² = (4)² + (c)²

16.49 = c²

c = 4.06 cm
