Question

Solve the equation. Check your answer. If necessary, round to 3 decimal places In ( 4x - 1) =36 x=

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9.25

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x - 1) = 36

4x - 1 = 36

4x = 36 +1

4x = 37

x = 37/4

x = 9.25

Answer 2

Answer:

x ≈1077807886778799

Step-by-step explanation:

In ( 4x - 1) =36

Raise each side to the base e to get rid of the ln

e^In ( 4x - 1) =e^36

4x-1 = e^36

Add 1 to each side

4x-1 +1 = 1+e^36

4x = 1+e^36

Divide by 4

4x/4 = (1+e^36)/4

x =(1+e^36)/4

Approximating x

x ≈1077807886778799
