Use addition to solve the system of linear equations. Include all of your work in your final answer.

yes.. it's proven to be 36.

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:

good luck on ur quiz test or homework. have a good day : )
