Solve 13^x+2=5 having a bit of trouble

<em>Solve: </em>13^{x} + 2 = 5

Start by isolating the x-variable as much as you can:
13^{x} = 5 - 2 = 3
13^{x} = 3

Now, if we take the log with base 13 of both sides, then the left hand side will cancel out really easily. This is based on the concept of inverse operations. For example, when we take the square of a square root, we get our initial value. This is because the two operations are inverses of each other, and basically undoes each other.

Logarithms and exponentials are the inverse operations of each other. If we want to extrapolate the power of an exponential, we take the logarithmic function of it, and vice versa.

In this case, we are saying what power of '13' will produce us with 13ˣ, and the only answer will be x itself.

log_{13}(13^{x}) = log_{13}(3)
x = log_{13}(3)

A family is purchasing concrete in order to create a foundation for a rectangular outdoor
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

42.5 Cubic Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

To find volume of a rectangle you do length*width*height to get the volume, so 17*15*0.5(because 6 inches is half of a foot) you get 127.5, but they're asking for it in yards not feet so you need to divide 127.5 by 3 and that will give you 42.5.

A discounted amusement park ticket costs $12.95 less than the original price (p). Write and solve an equation to find the origin
Elena-2011 [213]
P = the original price of the ticket.

Let x =  the discounted price.
The discounted price IS $12.95 less than the original price. Therefore
x = p - 12.95

Add 12.95 to each side.
p = x + 12.95

Answer:
The equation is
p = x + 12.95
where
p = original price
x = discounted price
