Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.
Drop the exponents:
Expand the right side:
Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :
Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :
You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:
You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,
5,000 × 3.8%= 19,000×18= 342,000 × 40 = 13,680,000
X= 7/93 or roughly 0.07526...
The original expression here might be (4x3) + (4x3). This is because the
distributive property simply moves around numbers, but will not change
the value of the equation, as in the question we are looking at here.
