Omole Senior Grammar School,

Omole Estate Phase 1,

Omole.

22nd July, 2013.

Dear father,

My mother told me about your decision to transfer me to another school because of the recent astronomical increase in my school fees. I would be unhappy if you transfer me to another school, when I am about to complete my education in the school. The reason why y I would like to remain in m school is not far fetched, I am sure that you would have noticed the great improvement in my results in the last one year This is also true of results of other students in the school. The school has definitely improved tremendously in academic performance. The school's results in WASSCE and NECO Senior School Certificate Examination in the last three years have improved. In fact, the school recorded 98% performance in the last Senior School Certificate Examination with many students having distinctions in English Language and Mathematics. Daddy, 1 know that you wouldn't expect me to leave a highly performing school for another school that I am not sure of itsperformance in public examinations.

Secondly, my present school has a crop of qualified teachers. Teachers in my school are all graduates with several years of teaching experience with most of them experienced examiners of public examinations. They are specialists in their various specialization. Apart from this, all the teachers are very friendly and committed to the academic improvement of their students. They are approachable as they are always ready to explain difficult topics to us when we approach them for further explanations.

Apart from this, effective teaching and learning are going on in my school as a result of the conducive learning in the school. This is made possible by the presence of effective infrastructures in the school. Our classrooms are spacious and well-ventilated with students adequately equipped with necessary academic infrastructures. The school is not over-populated with all the students well-seated in classrooms.

Daddy, as a science student, I wouldn't want to leave my present school with well-equipped laboratories for a school which is poorly-equipped. Our science laboratories are adequately equipped with all scientific apparatus that we always use for practicals. This is the main reasons why my present school always excel in science competitions in the state.

Lastly. daddy, you can't be sure of the academic performance of the school you intend to transfer me to. Therefore, it is better for me to stay in my present school where I am sure that I am going to pass the Senior School Certificate Examination with flying colours.

How are you and your work? I hope that you are fine. My regards to Mummy. Grace and Jide.

Yours sincerely.

Felicia

Correct Answer: C. 2

Explanation

\(log_{10}(3x+1) + log_{10}4 = log_{10}(9x+2)\)

\(log_{10}4(3x+1) = log_{10}(9x+2)\)

4(3x+1) = 9x + 2

12x -4 = 9x + 2

12x - 9x = 2 + 4

3x = 6

x = 2
