Carey solves the equation 4 (2 x minus 1) + 5 = 3 + 2 (x + 1) by applying the distributive property on both sides of the equation. The result is 8 x minus 4 + 5 = 3 + 2 x + 2. Carey then wants to combine like terms. Which are the terms Carey should combine? 8x + 2x –4 + 5 + 3 + 2 –4 + 5 and 3 + 2 4 + 5 and 3 + 2

hi how are you doing today? if you ever need just tell me

step-by-step explanation:

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
