Question

A student solved log4(2x – 12) = 3, as shown.

Answer 1

x = -6

Explanation:

you want to solve the aswer so you wanna solve for whats in the parenthesis so your new equation should look like this:

8x + 48 = 3

you want to subtract 48 from both sides your new equation should look like this:

8x = -45

now you want to get x by itself and your new equation should be:

x = -6
