Solve the following equations. you will need to show your work in order to receive full credit. 4x – 8 = 32 2(x – 5) = -20

4x  - 8 = 32

x = 10

2 (x - 5) = -20

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

4 times 10 = 40 minus 8 = 32

-2 times 5 = -10 times 2 = -20

where is the gragh

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
