(0.2)x = 2.

Taking log on both sides

log (0.2)x = log 2.

x log (0.2) = 0.3010, [since log 2 = 0.3010].

x log (2/10) = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - log 10] = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - 1] = 0.3010,[since log 10=1].

x[-0.699] = 0.3010.

x= 0.3010/-0.699.

x= = -0.4306….

x= = -0.4.

x = -0.4306

x= -0.4 (nearest tenth)

Terrell wants to Drive his car at a speed of 50 miles per hour for 2.75 hours. His car has a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gal

HI there! To find the number of gallons he needs for travel, the first step we need to do is find the number of miles he'll travel, by multiplying speed by time. 50 * 2.75 is 137.5. Terrell will travel 137.5 miles in 2.75 hours. There are 25 miles in a gallon. Now, let's divide the number by 25 to get the number of gallons. 137.5 / 25 = 5.5. There. Terrell will need 5.5 gallons of gas for his journey.
