Step 1:
Here we have -3 in subtraction on the left side, so when we take it to the right we apply opposite operation of subtraction that is addition.


Step 2:
Next we have 4 in multiplication on left side, so dividing right side by 4,


Step 3:
taking log on both sides


Step 4:
Dividing right side by 2,
x= ln (3.75) /2 = 0.66088
Answer : x = 0.66088..
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the percent change in a value between two points in time is:
p
=
N
−
O
O
⋅
100
Where:
p
is the percent change - what we are solving for in this problem.
N
is the New Value - 62 inches in this problem.
O
is the Old Value - 56 inches in this problem.
Substituting and solving for
p
gives:
p
=
62
−
56
56
⋅
100
p
=
6
56
⋅
100
p
=
600
56
p
=
10.7
rounded to the nearest tenth.
