Over the summer, Maria read 2 books per week, and Janet read 4 books per week. Prior to the summer, Maria had read 28 books, and Janet had read 16 books. After w weeks, they had each read the same number of books. Write an equation to represent this situation. Then, solve the equation.

2w = Maria read    4w = janet   32 is the number of books they both read because it was common  2, 4, 6,8 32 ⇔ 4,8,12,1632√

$32,660

step-by-step explanation:

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1
