Ln 40 + 2 ln 1/2 + ln x

ln(40) + 2ln(1/2) + ln(x)

First, you should take the 2 and put it back in the argument. Since it's a coefficient, when you put it back it in would be a power. That changes 2ln(1/2) to ln(1/2 ^ 2), which is ln(1/4).

ln(40) + ln(1/4) + ln(x)

Then, to add these, we just multiply the arguments, meaning we just have:

ln(40 * 1/4 * x)

Multiply and then we're done.

ln(10x)

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer

its 60

4 x 12 = 48

3 x 4 = 12

48 + 12 = 60

yeeeet
