Solve |6k + 12| + 9 = 9 for k.

Step-by-step explanation:

6k + 12 + 9=9

6k + 12 = 9 - 9

6k + 12 = 0

12 = -6k

12/-6 = -6k/-6

2/-1 = k

k = -2

k=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

6k+12+9=9

subtract 9 from both sides

6k+12=0

subtract 12 from not sides

6k= -12

divide both sides by 6 (isolating the variable)

k= -12/6

simplify

k= -2

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
