Michael solved this inequality as shown: Step 1: -6(x + 3) + 10 < -2 Step 2: -6x − 18 + 10 < -2 Step 3: -6x − 8 < -2 Step 4: -6x < 6 Step 5: x > -1 What property justifies the work shown between step 3 and step 4?

other answer is correct. i had used the radius of the radius somehow. a website:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

step by step solution :

step   1   :

1.1     4 = 22

(4)3 = (22)3 = 26

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((23) • 26)2

step   2   :

equation at the end of step   2   :

  (23 • 26)2

step   3   :

final result :

  218

ya

parallelogram is the   answer
