The difference of x and y is the same as 3 times the sum of x and 2

x - y = 3(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of x and y is the same as 3 times the sum of x and 2

x - y = 3(x + 2)

x - y = 3x + 6

not sure but it may be b, as i said i'm not sure.

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:
