The difference of three times a number and five is four. Then the number is 3

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that,

Difference of three times a number and five is four

We have to find the number

Let us frame a equation using the given information and solve the sum

Let the number be "n"

Difference of three times a number and five = 4

Three times n - 5 = 4

3n - 5 = 4

3n = 9

On dividing 9 by 3 we get 3

n = 3

Thus the required number is 3

3.920 * (1.018)^x = 5.500<br><br>X=?

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3.920(1.018)ˣ = 5.500

First we can divide both sides by 3.920 to get: (1.108)ˣ = 1.403
Then we can take the natural log of both sides to get: ln[(1.108)ˣ] = ln(1.403)
We can then use logarithmic rules to move the x exponent to the front: xln(1.108) = ln(1.403)
Then we can divide both sides by ln(1.108) to get: $x=\frac{ln(1.403)}{ln(1.018)}$
Then using a calculator we get x = 18.98 ≈19
