The value of x is -1.596

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>

4^{(x+3)} = 7

Let us solve using change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b

From given,

4^{(x+3)} = 7

\mathrm{If\:}f\left(x\right)=g\left(x\right)\mathrm{,\:then\:}\ln \left(f\left(x\right)\right)=\ln \left(g\left(x\right)\right)

Therefore,

\ln \left(4^{x+3}\right)=\ln \left(7\right)

\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \log _a\left(x^b\right)=b\cdot \log _a\left(x\right)

\ln \left(4^{x+3}\right)=\left(x+3\right)\ln \left(4\right)\\\\\left(x+3\right)\ln \left(4\right)=\ln \left(7\right)\\

Let us simplify the above

\left(x+3\right)\cdot \:2\ln \left(2\right)=\ln \left(7\right)\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2\ln \left(2\right)\\\\\frac{\left(x+3\right)\cdot \:2\ln \left(2\right)}{2\ln \left(2\right)}=\frac{\ln \left(7\right)}{2\ln \left(2\right)}\\\\

\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x+3=\frac{\ln \left(7\right)}{2\ln \left(2\right)}\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}3\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\x+3-3=\frac{\ln \left(7\right)}{2\ln \left(2\right)}-3\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\\\x=\frac{\ln \left(7\right)}{2\ln \left(2\right)}-3

Substitute the values

ln 7 = 1.9459101490553132

ln 2 = 0.6931471805599453

Therefore,

x = \frac{1.9459101490553132}{2 \times 0.6931471805599453} - 3\\\\x = 1.40367746103 - 3\\\\x = -1.59632253897 \approx -1.596

Thus solution for x is found

Does x = 5 satisfy the equation 3 (x +1) = 3x + 3
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To know if x = 5 satisfy the equation or not, you just have to applied it into your equation:

3 (5+1) = 3 * 5 + 3

18 = 18

So x = 5 do satisfy the equation

Hope this help you :3

Please solve, -8-2(7r+1)=-94​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

r = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

-8 - 2(7r + 1) = -94

Add 8 to both sides

-2(7r + 1) = -86

Divide both sides by -2

7r + 1 = 43

Subtract 1 from both sides

7r = 42

Divide both sides by 7

r = 6

Hope this Helps
