Ineed the answer idk what or how to do this

14^(7x) = 17^(-8-x)

Take the log of both sides:

7x*log 14 = -(8+x)*log 17, or 7x^log 14 = -8*log 17 - x*log 17.

Grouping the x terms, we get x(7*log 14 + log 17)= -8*log 17

Then:
              -8*log 17
x=    (answer)
      7*log 14 + log 17

How many people are we starting with? i will answer it's just i need to divide 8 by the total amount of people to get how many tables

At a constant it will take one hour to travel 32 mi.at that speed it will take 1/2 hr to travel the remaining 16 mi.it will take 1+1/2 hr to travel the 48mi @ 32mph.so 1 hr = 60 min& 1/2 hr = 30 min1+1/2 hr = 90 min.there are 60s in each 90 × 60 = 3600 seconds.the real question seriously is he why are they driving so slow? ! lol.
