First we need to find out what kind
of logarithm rule is given, the given is logarithm product rule which states
that a log of a product is equal to the sum of the log of the first base and
the log of the second base.
By:
= log (1.37 x 10⁹) =
log (1.37) + log (10⁹)
= log (1.37) + 9
= 9 + log (1.37)
In the meantime, 1.37 is between
1 and 10 its logarithm will be between 0 and 1. Thus, the value of log (1.37 x 10⁹)
falls between 9 and 10 because when you compose a scientific notation you will
always have a number among 1 and 10 by 10 to some power. That power tells you
the integer part of the logarithm.

He had 40 pencils left after he gave away 8, so originally he had 40 + 8 pencils, which is 48.
Now, he bought 4 packages, which had a total of 48 pencils, so divide 48 by 4, which is 12. He had 12 pencils in each package.
To determine the solution arithmetically, first add 8 to 40, then divide 48 by 4.
To determine the solution algebraically, set up and solve the equation 40 = 4x - 8.
Each package contained 12 pencils.
Hope this helps
The answer is positive 25 and negative 25
X cancels out, 8y + 2y is equal to 10y, and 26 + 14 is 40, so y=4
