Exponential and Log
Equations
Solve the equation 2 5- x /3= 7 for x and use a calculator to give a 4 decimal place approximation answers.
| log 2 5- x /3 = log 7 | In order to solve for x, the exponent 5 - x / 3 needs
to be brought down as a factor. This can be done by first applying the log function to both sides of the equation. |
| Show work. | Bring the exponent 5 - x/ 3 down as a factor by applying the third law of logarithms. |
