Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

h(x) = 5-2x

h(x)=3

Now,

h(x)=5-2x=3

or,5-2x=3

or,5-3=2x

or,2/2=x

Therefore, x=1 when h(x)=3

Which situation can be represented by the<br> inequality 4x − 25 < 125?

GaryK [48]

First add 25 to both sides of the inequality.
You get 4x < 150
Now divide both sides by 4.
You get x < 37.5
So x can be anything less than 37.5, such as 36, 35 or 34.

Solve 5^3x+1 = 4^x-5 for x

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

For the equation $5^{3x+1}=4^{x-5}$ take the $\log$ from both sides:

$\log 5^{3x+1}=\log 4^{x-5},\\ \\(3x+1)\log 5=(x-5)\log 4.$

Find x:

$3x\log 5+\log 5=x\log 4-5\log 4,\\ \\3x\log 5-x\log 4=-5\log 4-\log 5,\\ \\x(3\log 5-\log 4)=-5\log 4-\log 5,\\ \\x=\dfrac{-5\log 4-\log 5}{3\log 5-\log 4}=\dfrac{5\log 4+\log 5}{\log 4-3\log 5}.$
