Solve using long division
(x² – 3x - 40) + (x+5)

The chosen topic is not meant for use with this type of problem.

However, if you simplify it, your answer is:

x^2 − 2x − 35

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
