Jim Blonde and the evil Professor Malhomme are in a car chase. Blonde has a 24-km lead and travels 148 km/h. Malhomme is going 156 km/h. Fill in the table to determine when and where Malhomme will catch up to Blonde.

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m is slope, b is y-intercept

the answer is 175.4379

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
