Let x be the unknown number.
<span>7x + 668 </span><<span> 2000</span> => 7x plus 668 is less than 2000
where:
7x => x represents the number of cans to be collected in 7 days
668 is the number of cans already collected.
2000 is the target number of cans.
7x + 668 < 2000
- 668 -668
7x < 1332
÷7 ÷7
x < 190.30
or
x < 190
To check:
7x + 668 < 2000
7(190) + 668 < 2000
1330 + 668 < 2000
1998 < 2000
7% of 79.99 is (rounded) 5.60 so the total cost would be $85.59
Hey!
Okay, so if

equals

, then

equals

. So, we'll plug in the numbers into this 'equation' we have now.

And now we'll apply this log rule →


Now we have to solve

. To do that, we'll divide both sides of the equation by

.

Now we simplify

<em>So, this means the equation

solved is

or</em>
