. Define opposite numbers.

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2

answer is 2 apples

convert the answer to millimeters there are 25.4 millimeters in an inch and 12 inches in a foot so just divide the 5280 feet into a fraction of the numbers till you get to the simplest form you need so (5280 x 12=63360 inches) (63360 x 25.4=1609344 millimeters) (5280/12=440 feet) its as simple as that just break it down to it's simplest form.
