2^2x=5^x−1
Take the log pf both sides:
ln(2^2x) = ln(5^x-1)
Expand the logs by pulling the exponents out:
2xln(2) = (x-1)ln(5)
Simpligy the right side:
2xln(2) = ln(5)x - ln(5)
Now solve for x:
Subtract ln(5)x from both sides:
2xln(2) - ln(5)x = -ln(5)
Factor x out of 2xln(2)-ln(5)x
x(2ln(2) - ln(5)) = -ln(5)
Divide both sides by (2ln(2) - ln(5))
X = - ln(5) / (2ln(2) - ln(5))

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a number no less then 15
let the number be x
no less then 15....means it has to be 15 or more
x > = 15 (thats greater then or equal to)
Answer:
There are no solutions to the inequality.
Step-by-step explanation:
|x - 3| < x – 3
1. Separate the inequality into two separate ones.
(1) x – 3 < x – 3
(2) x – 3 < -(x – 3)
2. Solve each equation separately
(a) Equation (1)

(b) Equation (2)

For example, if x = 0, we get
|0 - 3| < 0 - 3 or
3 < -3
