16. On one plot of 14 hectares, unsorted potatoes were planted, and on another plot of 4 hectares, sorted potatoes were planted. The average yield per hectare on these two plots is 20 centners higher than the average yield of the first plot. By how many centners is the yield of sorted potatoes higher than the yield of unsorted potatoes?
16. Let the average yield of non-variety potatoes be $x$ centners per hectare, and that of variety potatoes be $-y$ centners per hectare. Then the average yield of the two plots is $(x+20)$ centners per hectare. We have $$ (x+20) \cdot 18=x \cdot 14+y \cdot 4 $$ from which $4 y-4 x=360 ; y-x=90$, which means that the yield of variety potatoes is higher than that of non-variety potatoes by 90 centners.

17. Let there be $x$ students, and the average daily output of a student be $y$ kg. Then $y \cdot x \cdot 5=45715$, from which $x y=9143$. Since $9143=41 \cdot 223$ and there cannot be 223 students in a class, there were 41 students, and each of them collected on average 223 kg of potatoes daily.

21. When the young fishermen were asked how many fish each of them had caught, the first one answered: "I caught half the number of fish that my friend caught, plus 10 fish." The second one said: "And I caught as many as my friend, plus 20 fish." How many fish did the fishermen catch?
21. Let the second one catch $x$ fish, then the first one catches $\frac{1}{2} x+10$ fish. According to the second fisherman's statement, he caught $\left(\frac{1}{2} x+10\right)+20$ fish. We have the equation $x=\left(\frac{1}{2} x+10\right)+20$, from which $x=60$, i.e., the second one caught 60 fish. Then the first one caught $\frac{1}{2} \cdot 60+10=40$ fish, and together -100 fish.

24. Preparing his son for school, the father bought him a new uniform for 24 r. How did he pay for the purchase, if he only had 5 r bills, and the cashier only had 3 r bills?
24. If the buyer gave the cashier $x$ bills and received $y$ bills as change, we have the equation $5 x-3 y=24$, from which $x=\frac{24+3 y}{5}$. Since $x$ must be an integer, $24+3 y$ must be divisible by 5. This is possible with the smallest value of $y=2$. Therefore, the buyer gave 6 bills (30 p.) and received 6 p. as change (2 bills of 3 p.).

26. In a competition of fun and ingenuity, 9 points were awarded for each correctly completed task, and 5 points were deducted for each uncompleted or incorrectly completed task. It is known that the team was offered no more than 15 tasks and scored 57 points. How many tasks did the team complete correctly?
26. Let $x$ be the number of tasks completed correctly, and $y$ be the number of tasks completed incorrectly or not at all. Then we have $9 x-5 y=57$, from which $x=\frac{57+5 y}{9}$. Since $x$ is a natural number, $(57+5 y)$ must be divisible by 9. The smallest value of $y$ for which this condition is met is 3. In this case, $x=8$. Since $8+3=11$ and $11<15$, the found value of $x$ satisfies the condition.

27. Let the team compete in $x$ sports and score $n$ points in all sports except the last one. Then we have $$ (97+n): x=90 ;(73+n): x=87 $$ which means $97+n=90 x$ and $73+n=87 x$, so $x=8$.

28. Let the grandfather be $(10 a+b)$ years old. Then $10 a+b=a+b^{2}$, hence $$ 9 a=b^{2}-b, \text{ or } a=\frac{b(b-1)}{9} $$ Since $a$ and $b$ are single-digit numbers, the equality holds only when $b=9$. In this case, $a=8$. Therefore, the grandfather is 89 years old.

29. If the number of motorcycles with sidecars is $x$, then the number without sidecars is $2x$. Let the number of cars be $y$, then the total number of wheels is $3x + 2x \cdot 2 + 4y = 7x + 4y$. According to the condition, $7x + 4y = 115$, from which $$ y=\frac{115-7x}{4} $$ The value of $y$ is greatest when $x$ is smallest. Let $x=1$, then $y=27$. Therefore, the maximum number of cars is 27.

32. When shooting at a target, Misha hit the bullseye several times, scored 8 points as many times, and hit the five several times. In total, he scored 99 points. How many shots did Misha take if $6.25\%$ of his shots did not score any points?
32. Let's say Mishka hit the ten and the eight $x$ times each, and the five $y$ times. Then $10 x + 8 x + 5 y = 99$, or $18 x + 5 y = 99$. The term $5 y$ can end in 5 or 0, so $18 x$ must end in 4 or 9. But $18 x$ cannot end in 9, so $18 x$ must end in 4. Since $18 x < 99$, then $x = 3$. We have $18 \cdot 3 + 5 y = 99$, from which $y = 9$. Therefore, the total number of hits was $3 + 3 + 9 = 15$, which is $93.75\%$ of the total number of shots, so the number of shots made is $16\left(\frac{15 \cdot 100}{93.75} = 16\right)$.

33. In a constructed school boarding house, several rooms were double-occupancy, and the rest were triple-occupancy. In total, the boarding house is designed for more than 30 but fewer than 70 places. When $\frac{1}{5}$ of the available places were occupied, the number of unoccupied places turned out to be the same as the total number of places would be if the number of double-occupancy rooms was the same as the actual number of triple-occupancy rooms, and the number of triple-occupancy rooms was the same as the actual number of double-occupancy rooms. For how many places is the boarding house built?
33. Let there be $x$ two-person rooms and $y$ three-person rooms in the boarding school. Then the total number of places in the boarding school is $2 x + 3 y$. If $\frac{1}{5}$ of the places were occupied, then $\frac{4}{5}$ of the places remained unoccupied, i.e., $\frac{4}{5}(2 x + 3 y)$. According to the condition, $\frac{4}{5}(2 x + 3 y) = 3 x + 2 y$, from which we get $2 y = 7 x$. Considering that $x$ and $y$ are natural numbers, we will have $x_{1} = 2 ; y_{1} = 7$; $x_{2} = 4 ; y_{2} = 14$ and so on. If $x = 2$ and $y = 7$, then the total number of places is 25; if $x = 4, y = 14$, then the number of places is 50; if $x = 6 ; y = 21$, then the number of places is 75. Since only $50(30 < 50 < 70)$ satisfies the condition, the total number of places in the boarding school was 50.

36. The front tires of a car wear out after 25,000 km, while the rear tires wear out after 15,000 km. When is it advisable to swap the tires to ensure they wear out evenly? (Assume that the tires are swapped once, although drivers do this more frequently in practice.)
36. It is advisable to change the tires so that their wear occurs at the same mileage for all wheels. Let's say they should be changed at $x$ km of mileage, then the front wheels have $(25000-x)$ km left to wear. But if they are put in place of the rear wheels, they can only travel $\frac{15000}{25000}=\frac{3}{5}$ of the distance they would still travel if they remained in their previous position, i.e., $\frac{3}{5}(25000-x)$. The rear wheels will travel $x$ km before the change, and if they remained in their place, they would travel another $(15000-x)$ km. In the position of the front wheels, they would travel $\frac{5}{3}(15000-x)$ km. After the tire change, the wheels should travel the same distance until wear, so $\frac{3}{5}(25000-x)=\frac{5}{3}(15000-x)$, from which $x=9375$ km.

37. Two people, who have one bicycle, need to get from point $A$ to point $B$, which is 40 km away from $A$. The first person walks at a speed of 4 km/h and rides the bicycle at 30 km/h, while the second person walks at a speed of 6 km/h and rides the bicycle at 20 km/h. What is the minimum time they can take to reach point $B$? (The bicycle can be left unattended.)
37. Let the first person travel $x$ hours by vehicle and $y$ hours on foot, then the second person travels $y$ hours by vehicle and $x$ hours on foot. We have the equation $30 x + 4 y = 20 y + 6 x$, from which $x = \frac{2}{3} y$. Therefore, the first person walked $y$ hours and traveled $\frac{2}{3} y$ hours by vehicle, while the second person walked $\frac{2}{3} y$ hours and traveled $y$ hours by vehicle. Knowing the total distance, we can form the equation $4 y + \frac{2}{3} y \cdot 30 = 40$, from which $y = \frac{5}{3}$ hours. The first person was on the road for $\frac{5}{3} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{5}{3} = 2 \frac{7}{9}$ (hours), and the second person was on the road for the same amount of time, as he walked $1 \frac{1}{9}$ hours and traveled $1 \frac{2}{3}$ hours. Therefore, the minimum time it takes for them to reach point $B$ is 2 hours 46 minutes 40 seconds.

38. While doing his homework, Petya was in a hurry to get to football and, as always in such cases, made mistakes. Instead of squaring the number, he doubled it and got a two-digit number, written with the same digits as the required square, only in reverse order. What is the correct answer that Petya should have obtained?
38. Let Pete need to square the number $x$. He should have obtained $x^{2}=10 a+b$, but in fact, he got $2 x=10 b+a$. This means $x=\frac{10 b+a}{2}$. From this, it follows that the number $x$ is a single-digit number (since $x^{2}$ is a two-digit number), and the number $10 b+a$ is an even two-digit number. The number $10 b+a$ should be sought among the numbers 12, $14,16,18$. The condition of the problem is satisfied only by the number 18. Therefore, $x=18: 2=$ $=9$ and $x^{2}=81$. Pete should have obtained 81, but he got 18.

41. On one of the three cards, the number 18 was written, on another - the number 75, and on the third - some two-digit number. If you add up all the different six-digit numbers that can be formed by arranging these cards in a row, the result is 2606058. What number is written on the third card?
41. Let the number on the third card be the one with $a$ tens and $b$ units, i.e., $\overline{a b}$. Then, by arranging the cards in a row, we can obtain the following numbers: $\overline{1875 a b}, \overline{18 a b 75}, \overline{7518 a b}, \overline{75 a b 18}, \overline{a b 7518}, \overline{a b 1875 .}$ We can represent each of these numbers as a sum, for example, like this: $\overline{1875 a b}=$ $=180000+7500+\overline{a b}$. Then, when determining the sum of these six six-digit numbers, we get $$ 181818+181818+757575+757575+\overline{a b a b a b}+\overline{a b a b a b} $$ or $1878786+2 \overline{a b a b a b}=2606058$, from which $\overline{a b a b a b}=363636$, and thus, $\overline{a b}=36$. Therefore, the number on the third card was 36.

The total number of rows of chairs in which the students sat in the hall was 3 more than the number of sixth-graders in each row, and the fifth-graders sat 3 in each row. How many sixth-graders and fifth-graders were there separately?

Then the total number of students at the evening was $x \cdot x=x^{2}$. According to the condition $x^{2}>70$ and $x^{2}<90$. This condition is satisfied only by $x=9 ; 9^{2}=81$. Therefore, there were 9 rows, there were $54(6 \cdot 9=54)$ sixth graders, and there were $27(3 \cdot 9=$ $=27)$ fifth graders.

How many students are there in the school, if it is known that there are no more than 520, and a total of more than 230 students participated in the excursion?
46. Let in one of the eight classes that participated in the excursion, there were $x$ students, then the museum was visited by $8 x$ students. By the condition $8 x>230$, hence $x>28 \frac{3}{4}$. The puppet theater was visited by $8 x+x \cdot 0.15=9.2 x$. Therefore, the total number of students in the school is $8 x+9.2 x=17.2 x$. By the condition $17.2 x \leqslant 520$, hence $x \leqslant 30 \frac{10}{43}$. Therefore, $x=29$ or $x=30$. Considering that only $17.2 \cdot 30$ is an integer, the condition is satisfied only by $x=30$. Therefore, the total number of students in the school is $17.2 \cdot 30=516$

10. Let's consider the most "unfavorable" case. Suppose there are 7 boxes of apples, pears, and plums each. This makes a total of 21 boxes. If the 22nd box is with apples, then there will be 8 boxes of apples; if this box is with pears, then there will be 8 boxes of pears; if this box is with plums, then there will be 8 boxes of plums. In other cases, there will be more than 8 boxes containing one of the three types of fruits.

16. Let's consider the most "unfavorable" case: among the taken pencils, there could be 14 yellow, 11 brown, 11 black, 17 red, 17 green, and 17 blue. Thus, if we take 87 pencils $14+11+$ $+11+17+17+17=87$, it might happen that among them there will not be 18 pencils of the same color. By taking one more pencil, we will have either 18 red, 18 green, or 18 blue. Therefore, we need to take 88 pencils. In other cases, among the 88 taken pencils, there will be more than 18 pencils of one color.

Now, if we take one more, then one of the IV-VII classes will have 15. Therefore, we need to take 77 photographs.

25. If we assume that the first statement is true, this would mean that there is exactly one false statement in the book, and all the others are true, i.e., the second, third, and so on are true, which contradicts the first statement, since, for example, the second statement claims that there are exactly two false statements, the third claims exactly three, and so on. Conducting such reasoning up to the 98th statement inclusive, we will come to the same conclusion. If, however, the 99th statement is true, this means that there are exactly 99 false statements, i.e., all except the 99th statement. Therefore, it is false that there is exactly one, two, ..., 98, or 100 false statements. The hundredth statement cannot be true, because in this case all statements (according to the hundredth statement) are false. Thus, the true statement is the 99th.

The only possible scenario is: $28=7+6+5+4+3+2+1+0$. On the other hand, if the participants who took fifth through eighth place inclusive scored 6 points, then these points were earned by playing against each other, losing all games to the chess players who took the top four places. Therefore, the participant who took third place won against the one who took fifth.

Solution. Let $a=y+z ; b=x+z ; c=x+y$. Consider a triangle with sides $a, b, c$ (it is not difficult to verify that such a triangle exists for any $x, y, z$). Then: $$ \begin{gathered} (x+y) \cdot(x+z)=b \cdot c \\ x y z(x+y+z)=(p-a)(p-b)(p-c) p=S^{2}=1 \end{gathered} $$ But $b \cdot c=\frac{2 S}{\sin A}=\frac{2}{\sin A}$, and $|\sin A| \leq 1$. In this case, it is clear that the minimum value of the product $b \cdot c$ is 2. Therefore, the minimum value of the expression $(x+y) \cdot(x+z)$ under the given conditions is 2.

Solution. Let in triangle $A B C \quad b=c$ and $\frac{A I}{I L_{1}}=\frac{5}{3}$ (Fig. 102). Then $\frac{b+c}{a}=\frac{2 b}{a}=\frac{5}{3}$, or $a=\frac{6}{5} b$. Then $\quad C L_{1}=B L_{1}=\frac{a}{2}=\frac{3}{5} b . \quad$ By the Pythagorean theorem for triangle $A L_{1} C \quad A L_{1}=\frac{4}{5} b$. Thus: 76 $$ \frac{4}{5} b=8 \text { cm, from which } b=10 \text { cm. Therefore } a=\frac{6}{5} b=12 \text { cm. } $$ We will demonstrate how the property $\frac{A I}{I L_{1}}=\frac{b+c}{a}$ can be applied in trigonometry.

Example 11. Are the equations $$ \frac{2(x-10)}{x^{2}-13 x+30}=1 \quad \text { and } \quad x^{2}-15 x+50=0 $$ equivalent?
Solution. We will solve the first equation. By getting rid of the denominator, i.e., multiplying both sides of the original equation by the expression $x^{2}-13 x+30$, we obtain the equation $$ 2 x-20=x^{2}-13 x+30 $$ The set of all roots of this equation consists of two numbers: $x_{1}=10$ and $x_{2}=5$. As a result of the transformation, extraneous roots could have appeared; therefore, it is necessary to check. The check shows that the number $x_{1}=10$ is not a root of the original equation, while the number $x_{2}=5$ is its root, i.e., the first equation has a single root $x=5$. The equation $x^{2}-15 x+50=0$ has two solutions: $x_{1}=5$ and $\boldsymbol{x}_{2}=10$. Comparing the sets of roots of the given equations, we get: the second equation is a consequence of the first.

EQUIVALENT EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES Thus, the solutions of the original equation are among the numbers $x_{1}=5$ and $x_{2}=-2$. Before making the check, let us draw the reader's attention to a common mistake. Transitioning from the given equation to its consequence, roots are found. Then, it is checked whether the found roots belong to the DOD of the original equation. The roots that do not belong to the DOD are discarded, and the remaining ones (belonging to the DOD of the original equation) are listed in the answer. This is where the mistake lies. It is not enough to check whether the found roots belong to the DOD of the equation. It is necessary to check whether the roots of the consequence, which belong to the DOD of the original equation, satisfy the original equation itself. This is confirmed by the given example. Indeed, both roots of the system satisfy the DOD, but the number 5 satisfies equation (7), while the number -2 does not satisfy it. Therefore, equation (7) has a single root $x=5$. The second method. The equation $\sqrt{\alpha(x)}=\beta(x)$ is equivalent to the system $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \beta(x) \geqslant 0 \\ \alpha(x)=\beta^{2}(x) \end{array}\right. $$ since $\beta^{2}(x) \geqslant 0$, and the equality $\alpha(x)=\beta^{2}(x)$ imposes a non-negativity condition on $\alpha(x)$. When solving equations of type (7) by equivalent transitions, it is not necessary to find the DOD of this equation, but it is mandatory to impose the non-negativity condition on the function $\beta(x)$. Considering this, for the given example, we have (7) $\Leftrightarrow\left\{\begin{array}{l}x-1 \geqslant 0, \\ x+11=x^{2}-2 x+1\end{array} \Leftrightarrow\left\{\begin{array}{l}x \geqslant 1, \\ x^{2}-3 x-10=0\end{array} \Leftrightarrow\right.\right.$ $$ \Leftrightarrow\left\{\begin{array}{l} x \geqslant 1 \\ {\left[\begin{array}{l} x=-2, \\ x=5 \end{array}\right.} \end{array} \Leftrightarrow x=5\right. $$ Thus, $x=5$ is the only solution to equation (7).

Example 4. Solve the equation $$ 3 \sqrt{x+3}-\sqrt{x-2}=7 $$
Solution. Isolate one of the roots on the left side: $$ 3 \sqrt{x+3}=\sqrt{x-2}+7 $$ By squaring both sides of the obtained equation, we have $$ 9(x+3)=x-2+14 \sqrt{x-2}+49 $$ Combining like terms and isolating the radical on the right side, we get the equation $$ 4 x-10=7 \sqrt{x-2} $$ By squaring both sides of the obtained equation, we have $$ 16 x^{2}-80 x+100=49(x-2) $$ i.e., the equation $$ 16 x^{2}-129 x+198=0 $$ which is a consequence of the original equation. We find the roots of this equation: $x_{1}=6, x_{2}=2 \frac{1}{16}$. Substitute each of these roots into the original equation. For $x=6$, we get a true numerical equality. Therefore, $x_{1}=6$ is a root of the original equation. For $x=2 \frac{1}{16}$, the left side of the original equation equals $6 \frac{1}{2}$, and its right side equals 7. Since $6 \frac{1}{2} \neq 7$, the number $x_{2}=2 \frac{1}{16}$ does not satisfy the original equation, i.e., it is an extraneous root for it. Thus, $x_{1}=6$ is the only root of the original equation.

Solution. Isolate two radicals on each side so that after squaring we get the simplest equation: $$ \sqrt{11 x+3}-\sqrt{2-x}=\sqrt{9 x+7}-\sqrt{x-2} $$ Perform a chain of transformations: $$ \begin{gathered} 11 x+3-2 \sqrt{(11 x+3)(2-x)}+2-x= \\ =9 x+7-2 \sqrt{(9 x+7)(x-2)}+x-2 \\ \sqrt{6+19 x-11 x^{2}}=\sqrt{9 x^{2}-11 x-14} \\ 6+19 x-11 x^{2}=9 x^{2}-11 x-14 \\ 20 x^{2}-30 x-20=0 \\ 2 x^{2}-3 x-2=0 \end{gathered} $$ The last equation is a consequence of the original equation and has roots $x_{1}=2$ and $x_{2}=-0.5$. When $x=2$, the original equation turns into a true numerical equality. Therefore, $x_{1}=2$ is its root. When $x=-0.5$, in the left part of the original equation, we have the expression $\sqrt{-0.5-2}$, which is meaningless; therefore, the number $x_{2}=-0.5$ does not satisfy the original equation. Thus, $x_{2}=2$ is the only root of the original equation.

Example 6. Solve the equation $$ \sqrt[3]{2 x-1}+\sqrt[3]{x-1}=1 $$
Solution. Raising both sides of the equation to the third power, we get $$ 3 x-2+3 \sqrt[3]{(2 x-1)(x-1)}(\sqrt[3]{2 x-1}+\sqrt[3]{x-1})=1 $$ By the condition, the expression $\sqrt[3]{2 x-1}+\sqrt[3]{x-1}$ equals one. Substituting this expression with one in the obtained equation, we get the equation $$ 3 x-2+3 \sqrt[3]{(2 x-1)(x-1)}=1 $$ which is a consequence of the original equation, since equation (1) may have a root that does not necessarily satisfy the relation: $$ 1=\sqrt[3]{2 x-1}+\sqrt[3]{x-1} $$ Raising equation (1) to the third power: $$ (2 x-1)(x-1)=(1-x)^{3} $$ The last equation has roots $x_{1}=0$ and $x_{2}=1$. Verification shows that $x_{1}=0$ is an extraneous root of the original equation, while $x_{2}=1$ satisfies it. Thus, $x_{2}=1$ is the only root of the original equation. For an equation of the form $$ \sqrt[3]{f(x)}+\sqrt[3]{g(x)}=\varphi(x) $$ where $f(x), g(x), \varphi(x)$ are some functions, they are usually solved as follows. Both sides of the equation are raised to the third power to obtain the equation $$ f(x)+g(x)+3 \sqrt[3]{f(x) g(x)}(\sqrt[3]{f(x)}+\sqrt[3]{g(x)})=\varphi^{3}(x) $$ In this equation, the expression $\sqrt[3]{f(x)}+\sqrt[3]{g(x)}$, which is the left-hand side of the original equation, is replaced by $\varphi(x)$, which is its right-hand side. As a result, we get the equation $$ f(x)+g(x)+3 \sqrt[3]{f(x) g(x)} \varphi(x)=\varphi^{3}(x) $$ which (since it is solved under the condition $\sqrt[3]{f(x)}+\sqrt[3]{g(x)}=$ $=\varphi(x)$) is a consequence of the original equation. After isolating the radical and raising the obtained equation to the third power, we find its roots, and then by direct substitution of each of the found numbers into the original equation, we select those that are roots of the original equation.

Solution. The domain of the equation: $x \geqslant-16$. Isolating the radical, we get the equation $\sqrt{x+16}=x-4$. Squaring both sides of this equation and combining like terms, we obtain the equation $x^{2}-9 x=0$, the roots of which are: $x_{1}=0$ and $x_{2}=9$. Each of these roots belongs to the domain of the original equation. For the root $x_{1}=0$, the parts of the equation $\sqrt{x+16}=x-4$ being squared have different signs; therefore, $x_{1}=0$ is an extraneous root of the original equation. By substitution, we verify that $x=9$ is the only root of the original equation.

Solution. Solving the system of inequalities $$ \left\{\begin{array}{r} x+7 \geqslant 0 \\ 3 x-2 \geqslant 0 \\ x-1 \geqslant 0 \\ x+2 \geqslant 0 \end{array}\right. $$ we find the domain of the equation: $x \geqslant 1$.

The roots of this equation are $x_{1}=-1 / 3$ and $x_{2}=2$. The root $x_{1}=-1 / 3$ does not belong to the domain of the original equation. The root $x_{2}=2$ belongs to the domain of the original equation and, when substituted, turns it into a true numerical equality. Thus, $x_{1}=2$ is the only root of the original equation. The equation $f(x)=g(x) \alpha(x)$ is a consequence of the equation $$ \frac{f(x)}{\alpha(x)}=g(x) $$ If the domain of the function $\varphi(x)$ is not narrower than the domain of the equation $f(x)=g(x)$, then the equation $$ f(x) \varphi(x)=g(x) \varphi(x) $$ is a consequence of the equation $$ f(x)=g(x) $$ Therefore, if in the process of solving an equation, transformations are performed that consist of eliminating the denominator from the equation or multiplying the equation by an expression whose domain is not narrower than the domain of the given equation, the domain of the original equation may be expanded, and, consequently, extraneous roots may appear. In this case, verification is also a necessary part of solving the equation.

Solving equation (5), we find two roots: $x_{1}=16$ and $x_{2}=4$. The number $x_{2}=4$ does not belong to the domain of equation (4) and is therefore an extraneous root.

Solution. This equation is similar in appearance to equation (6): the exponent of the bases is the same, but the bases 27, 12, and 8 of the three consecutive terms of a geometric progression do not form one. Consecutive (but four) terms of a geometric progression are the numbers $27, 18, 12$, and 8. Therefore, we can assume that the term containing $18^{x}$ enters the given equation with a zero coefficient. We divide all terms of equation (11) by $8^{x}$ and obtain $$ (3 / 2)^{3 x}+(3 / 2)^{x}=2 $$ Let $t=(3 / 2)^{x}$; then we have the equation $t^{3}+t-2=0$. Since $t^{3}+t-2=(t-1)\left(t^{2}+t+2\right)$, this equation has a unique root $t_{1}=1$. Thus, the original equation is equivalent to the equation $$ (3 / 2)^{x}=1 $$ the only root of which is $x=0$.

Introduce the variable $t=a^{f(x)}$ and, using the equality $a b=1$, transition from equation (12) to the equation $$ \alpha t^{2}+c t+\beta=0 $$ Then equation (12) will be equivalent to the combination of two exponential equations: $$ a^{f(x)}=t_{1}, \quad a^{f(x)}=t_{2}, $$ where $t_{1}, t_{2}$ are the roots of equation (12').

An equation of the form $$ \log _{a} \alpha(x)-\log _{a} \beta(x)=\log _{a} f(x)-\log _{a} g(x), \quad a>0, \quad a \neq 1 $$ is equivalent to the equation $$ \log _{a} \alpha(x)+\log _{a} g(x)=\log _{a} f(x)+\log _{a} \beta(x) $$ which is equivalent to the system $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \alpha(x)>0 \\ g(x)>0 \\ f(x)>0 \\ \beta(x)>0 \\ \log _{a}(\alpha(x) g(x))=\log _{a}(f(x) \beta(x)) \end{array}\right. $$ i.e., the system $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} \alpha(x)>0 \\ g(x)>0 \\ \beta(x)>0 \\ f(x)>0 \\ \alpha(x) g(x)=f(x) \beta(x) \end{array}\right. $$

Example 15. Solve the equation $$ \log _{1 / 3}\left(x^{2}+3 x-4\right)=\log _{1 / 3}(2 x+2) $$
Solution. Solving the system of inequalities $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} x^{2}+3 x-4>0 \\ 2 x+2>0 \end{array}\right. $$ we find the domain of definition (ODZ) of equation (10): $x>1$. Potentiating equation (10), we obtain the equation $$ x^{2}+3 x-4=2 x+2 $$ which is a consequence of it. Equation (11) has two roots: $x_{1}=2$ and $x_{2}=-3$. The number $x_{1}=2$ falls within the ODZ of equation (10) and is therefore its root. The number $x_{2}=-3$ does not fall within the ODZ of equation (10) and is thus an extraneous root. Thus, the number 2 is the only root of equation (10). Formulas of logarithms. Let $f$ and $g$ be some functions and $a>0, a \neq 1$. Then, if $f>0$ and $g>0$, we have $1^{\circ} . \log _{a}(f g)=\log _{a} f+\log _{a} g$. 2.. $\log _{a} \frac{f}{g}=\log _{a} f-\log _{a} g$. $3^{\circ} . \log _{a} f^{\alpha}=\alpha \log _{a} f$. $4^{\circ} . \log _{a^{\beta}} f^{\alpha}=\frac{\alpha}{\beta} \log _{a} f$. Applying any of these formulas formally (without considering the inequalities $f>0$ and $g>0$), one should keep in mind that the domains of definition (ODZ) of the left and right parts of each of them may be different. For example, the expression $\log _{a} f+\log _{a} g$ is defined for $f>0$ and $g>0$, while the expression $\log _{a}(f g)$ is defined both for $f>0, g>0$ and for $f<0, g<0$. Similarly, the ODZ of the left part of formulas $2^{\circ}-4^{\circ}$ may be wider than the ODZ of the right part. Thus, transforming an equation by formally using formulas $1^{\circ}-4^{\circ}$ "from right to left" leads to an equation that is a consequence of the original equation (its ODZ may be wider). In this case, extraneous roots of the original equation may appear; therefore, at the end of the solution, one must check the membership of each root of the last equation to the ODZ of the original equation.

Example 20. Solve the equation $$ 3 x^{\log _{5} 2}+2^{\log _{5} x}=64 $$
Solution. The domain of the equation: $x>0$. On this set $$ x^{\log _{5} 2}=2^{\log _{5} x} $$ therefore, the given equation is equivalent to the equation $$ 3 \cdot 2^{\log _{5} x}+2^{\log _{5} x}=64 $$ i.e., the equation $$ 2^{\log _{5} x}=16 $$ From this, we get $\log _{5} x=4$, i.e., $x=625$. The number 625 belongs to the domain of the original equation and, therefore, is its only root. Sometimes it is advisable to take the logarithm of both sides of the equation to reduce its solution to one of the simplest equations. As a rule, this has to be done for mixed-type equations containing both exponential and logarithmic functions.

Example 6. Solve the inequality $$ \sqrt{6-x}\left(5^{x^{2}-7.2 x+3.9}-25 \sqrt{5}\right) \geqslant 0 $$
Solution. The domain of definition of inequality (1) is determined by the condition $6-x \geqslant 0$, i.e., $x \leqslant 6$. Inequality (1) is equivalent to a combination consisting of an equation and a system of two inequalities: $$ \sqrt{6-x}=0, \quad\left\{\begin{array}{l} 5^{x^{2}-7.2 x+3.9}-25 \sqrt{5} \geqslant 0 \\ x<6 \end{array}\right. $$ From the equation $\sqrt{6-x}=0$ we find $x=6$. Since $25 \sqrt{5}=5^{2} \cdot 5^{1 / 2}=5^{2.5}$, the first inequality of the system is equivalent to the inequality $$ 5^{x^{2}-7.2 x+3.9} \geqslant 5^{2.5} $$ which is equivalent to the inequality $x^{2}-7.2 x+3.9 \geqslant 2.5 \Leftrightarrow x^{2}-7.2 x+1.4 \geqslant 0 \Leftrightarrow(x-1 / 5)(x-7) \geqslant 0$. Therefore, the first inequality of the system is equivalent to the combination of simple inequalities $$ x \leqslant 1 / 5, \quad x \geqslant 7 $$ Considering the condition $x<6$, we obtain the solution of the system, which is the interval $-\infty<x \leqslant 1 / 5$. Therefore, the solutions of inequality (1) are the number $x=6$ and all numbers in the interval $-\infty<x \leqslant 1 / 5$.

Example 22. Solve the inequality $$ \left(\sqrt{x^{2}-4 x+3}+1\right) \log _{2} \frac{x}{5}+\frac{1}{x}\left(\sqrt{8 x-2 x^{2}-6}+1\right) \leqslant 0 $$
Solution. The domain of admissible values of the original inequality consists of all $x$ satisfying the system $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} x>0 \\ x^{2}-4 x+3 \geqslant 0 \\ 8 x-2 x^{2}-6 \geqslant 0 \end{array}\right. $$ i.e., the system $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} x>0 \\ x^{2}-4 x+3 \geqslant 0 \\ x^{2}-4 x+3 \leqslant 0 \end{array}\right. $$ It follows that the domain of admissible values consists of all $x$ satisfying the system $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} x>0 \\ x^{2}-4 x+3=0 \end{array}\right. $$ Since the quadratic equation $x^{2}-4 x+3=0$ has positive roots $x_{1}=1$ and $x_{2}=3$, the domain of admissible values of the original inequality is $x=1$ and $x=3$. The solutions of the original inequality lie within its domain of admissible values; therefore, the solutions are among the numbers 1 and 3. Let $x=1$. Substituting this value into the left-hand side of inequality (18), we get $\log _{5} \frac{1}{5}+1=-1+1=0$, i.e., the value $x=1$ is a solution of the inequality. Let $x=3$. Then the left-hand side of the original inequality is $$ \log _{5} \frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}{3}=\log _{5} 3-1+\frac{1}{3}=\log _{5} 3-\frac{2}{3}=\log _{5} \frac{3}{5^{2 / 3}} $$ Since $27>25$, then $3>5^{2 / 3}$, i.e., $\frac{3}{5^{2 / 3}}>1$; therefore, $\log _{5} \frac{3}{5^{2 / 3}}>0$. Hence, the value $x=3$ is not a solution of the original inequality. Thus, the set of solutions of the original inequality consists of the single number $x=1$.

153*. The number $N$ has the form $p^{\alpha} q^{\beta} r^{\gamma}$, where $p, q, r$ are prime numbers, and $p q - r = 3, p r - q = 9$; furthermore, the numbers $\frac{N}{p}, \frac{N}{q}, \frac{N}{r}$ have respectively 20, 12, and 15 fewer divisors than the number $N$. Find the number $N$. 14
153. From the system $\left\{\begin{array}{l}p q-r=3 \\ p r-q=9\end{array}\right.$, we find $(p+1)(r-q)=6$, hence $\left\{\begin{array}{l}p+1=3 \\ r-q=2\end{array}, p=2 ;\left\{\begin{array}{l}2 q-r=3 \\ r-q=2\end{array}, q=5, r=7\right.\right.$. The combination $p+1=6$ and $r-q=1$ does not yield the required results. Therefore, the desired number has the form $N=$ $=2^{\alpha} \cdot 5^{\beta} \cdot 7^{\gamma}$. The number of all divisors of $N$ is $(\alpha+1)(\beta+1)(\gamma+1)$. The number of all divisors for $\frac{N}{2}$ is $\alpha(\beta+1)(\gamma+1)$, for $\frac{N}{5}$ is $\beta(\alpha+1)(\gamma+1)$, and for the number $\frac{N}{7}$ is $\gamma(\alpha+1)(\beta+1)$. According to the problem, we get the system: $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} (\beta+1)(\gamma+1)=20 \\ (\alpha+1)(\gamma+1)=12 \\ (\alpha+1)(\beta+1)=15 \end{array}\right. $$ Multiplying, we find $(\alpha+1)(\beta+1)(\gamma+1)=60 ; \quad$ therefore, $\alpha=2, \beta=4, \gamma=3$.
