Answer:
x = 2.3202
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
on taking log both sides, we get
now,
using the property of log function
log(aᵇ) = b × log(a)
therefore,
we get
(3x-5)log(10) = xlog(7)
now,
log(10) = 1
and
log(7) = 0.84509
thus,
( 3x - 5 ) × 1 = 0.84509x
or
3x - 0.84509x - 5 = 0
or
2.15491x = 5
or
x = 2.3202
If your solving for x, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:
-24 ≤ 3x - 9 First add 9 on both sides
-24 + 9 ≤ 3x - 9 + 9
-15 ≤ 3x Then divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself
-5 ≤ x [or x ≥ -5 if you prefer "x" to be on the left side]
