Plz i dont understand this i'm going crazy

symbol is <

Step-by-step explanation:

evaluate the left and right sides for comparison

left = (2 × 18 ) - 18 = 36 - 18 = 18

right = 2[28 - (3 × 6) ] = 2[28 - 18] = 2 × 10 = 20

18 < 20

hence replace ? with <

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1

see the picture for the graph.

i believe the correct answer is b.
