Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the figure has 4 congruent sides and 4 right angles and is therefore a square, then

8x - 15 = 3x + 11 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

5x - 15 = 11 ( add 15 to both sides )

5x = 26 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 5.2

Answer:

It's a square

x = 26/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, since all the sides are equal (shown by the 3 lines in the sides) and all the angles are 90 degrees (show by the little squares in the corners), I believe the shape is a square.

Because the sides are equal, you would set up the equation by making the two expressions equal to each other:

3x + 11 = 8x - 15

The next step is to get the variable (x) on only one of the sides. You can do this by subtracting 3x from both sides or by subtracting 8x from both sides. I will subtract 3x here just so the new number can be positive, but either will work.

3x + 11 = 8x - 15

-3x -3x

0 + 11 = 5x - 15

Now, you isolate the x by adding 15 to both sides. Remember, whatever you do to one side, you must also do it to the other side of the equal sign.

11 = 5x - 15

+15 +15

26 = 5x

Lastly, get rid of the number in front of the x so that x is alone on a side of the equal sign. You do this by dividing both sides by 5.

x = 26/5

Now, you can either make this into a mixed number or a decimal or keep it how it is. I hope this helps :]

Solve the logarithmic equation: x= log5 (1/625)=
Verizon [17]
You can convert (1/625) to an exponent, and it would be ideal to have 5 as the base of it because you want your log base to cancel it out. what i usually do in this case is just test out 5^1, 5^2, etc until i find one that matches the number i need. in this case because the number you're trying to work with is a small fraction, you'll want to use NEGATIVE exponents so it'll create a fraction instead of a large whole number:

5^-1 = 1/5
. . . keep trying those. . .
5^-4 = 1/625

so, because they're equal to one another, it'll be waaay easier after you substitute 5^-4 in place of 1/625

x = log₅ 5⁻⁴

log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1. subbing in the 5^-4 gets rid of the log for you altogether, and your -4 exponent drops down:

x = -4 is your answer

if the exponent dropping down doesn't make sense to you, you can think of it in another way:

x = log₅ 5⁻⁴

expand the expression so that the exponent moves in front of the log function:

x = (-4) log₅ 5

then, still, log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1, so you're left with:

x = (-4)1 or x = -4

Hey! If Tanner has t more, just add to to 73, so the expression would be t+73.
