1.25x=1.25 so divided both sides by 1.25 sooo x=1
Answer:
5.209 or A
Step-by-step explanation
5^x-4=7
reserve 4
log sides
x-4 log5 and log7
x-4=log7/log5
+4 or number of your equation
x=log5/log7 +4
use calculator
get answer
5.209
EDIT: Got a 100 on the test this is correct
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33769/181
Discussion:
Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives
x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17) = 71 (*)
Use common factor (17*14*4 = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:
1/4 = (17*14)/ 952 = 238/952
1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952
1/17 = (14*4)/952 = 56/952
so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 = (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 = 362/952 = 181/476
Substituting in (*) gives
x ( 181/476) = 71 => multiply both sides by 476/181
x = (71 * 476)/181 => 71* 476 =33769
x = 33769/181
Thank you,
MrB
