Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50^x = 17; The solution is x = 0.7242.

<h3>What is logarithm?</h3>

When you raise a number with an exponent, there comes a result.

Let's say you get

a^b = c

Then, you can write 'b' in terms of 'a' and 'c' using a logarithm as follows

b = \log_a(c)

'a' is called base of this log function. We say that 'b' is the logarithm of 'c' to base 'a'

Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50^x = 17;

however, she is not quite sure where to start.

The equation is

50^x = 17\\

By taking the log both sides

log_a b = x\\\\a_x = b

By using the base formula

log_0 y = \dfrac{logy}{log b}

So, log_{50} 17= x\\\\

x = \dfrac{log17}{log 50}

x = 0.7242

Answer:

x=35

Step-by-step explanation:

A pentagon's sum of interior angles is 540 degrees.

Now, we can set up an equation.

(4x - 57) + (3x + 15) + 4x + (2x - 3) (3x + 25) = 540

Combine similar terms

16x - 20 = 540

16x = 560

<u>x = 35</u>
