Let a, b, c, d be positive integers such that loga(b)=3/2 and logc(d) = 5/4.
If a − c = 9, then b − d equals?
:
and
write the exponent equiv
:
b = and d =
solve for a and c
a = and c =
given that
a - c = 9
Substitute for a and c
- = 9
:
= + 9
b =
Plotting this equation on my Ti83, got integer solutions of
b = 125, d = 32
Find b - d
125 - 32 = 93

Check this
Find a
a = = 25
Find c
c = = 16
a - c = 9
