E^2x -2e^x -24=0 please answer fast

x = ln6

Step-by-step explanation:

e^2x - 2e^x - 24 = 0

a = e^x

=> a^2 - 2a - 24 = 0

=> (a + 4)(a - 6) = 0

=> a = -4 => e^x = -4 (invalid because e^x > 0)

=> a = 6 => e^x = 6 => x = ln6

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
