Problem 1
In a Martian civilization, all logarithms whose bases are not specified as assumed to
be base b, for some fixed b ≥ 2. A Martian student writes down
√
3 log( x log x) = 56
loglog x (x) = 54
and finds that this system of equations has a single real number solution x > 1.
Find b.
Problem 2
Determine 3x4 + 2x5 , if x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 , and x5 satisfy the system of equations below.
2x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 6
x1 + 2x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 12
x1 + x2 + 2x3 + x4 + x5 = 24
x1 + x2 + x3 + 2x4 + x5 = 48
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + 2x5 = 96
