Is this the correct procedure for this kind of question? apparently the answer is supposed to be log6/log5.

log 3                        

= x                  

log 5

Step-by-step explanation:

25 ^x - 5^x +4 = 10

Subtract 4 from each side

25 ^x - 5^x +4-4 = 10-4

25 ^x - 5^x  = 6

25 can we rewritten as 5^2

5^2^x - 5^x  = 6

a^b^c can be written as a^(b*c)

5^(2x) - 5^x  = 6

Replace 5^x with m

m^2 - m = 6

Subtract 6 from each side

m^2 -m -6 = 6-6

m^2 -m-6=0

Factor

(m-3) (m+2) = 0

Using the zero product property

m-3 = 0   m+2=0

m=3      m=-2

Substitute m=x^2 back in

5^x =3             5^x =-2

Take the log of each side

log5 (3) =x         log5 (-2) =x

There is no  log -2  so this is not a solution

Assuming we want to use base 10

log 3                        

= x                  

log 5

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
