This equation can be solved graphically by plotting the equations
  f(x) = 3^x
and
  g(x) = 5x-1.

The x-coordinate of the point(s) of intersection is the solution.

_____
On my graphing calculator, I find it easier to locate x-intercepts, so I would rewrite the equation as
  3^x -(5x -1) = 0
and plot the function
  h(x) = 3^x -(5x -1)
The x-intercept(s) would be the solutions. (There are two: x≈0.577, x=2.)

Kyle grates 4/8 pound of cheese for enchiladas. He grates 2/8 pound of cheese for tacos. How much cheese does Kyle grate in all?
babymother [125]

He grates 6/8 pounds of cheese in all.

For this problem, you just have to add the numerators and keep the denominators.

4/8 + 2/8 = 6/8.

Remember, if the denominator is the same, just add the numerator.
