Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking antilogs, you have ...
2³ × 8 = (4x)²
64 = 16x²
x = √(64/16) = √4
x = 2 . . . . . . . . (the negative square root is not a solution)
___
You can also work more directly with the logs, if you like.
3·ln(2) +ln(2³) = 2ln(2²x) . . . . . . . . . . . write 4 and 8 as powers of 2
3·ln(2) +3·ln(2) = 2(2·ln(2) +ln(x)) . . . . use rules of logs to move exponents
6·ln(2) = 4·ln(2) +2·ln(x) . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
2·ln(2) = 2·ln(x) . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4ln(2)
ln(2) = ln(x) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the antilogs
3.06 rounded to the nearest whole number is 3.
.06 is much closer to 0 than it is to 1, so round down.
3.06 rounded down is 3, so that is your answer.
Answer:d
Step-by-step explanation:
Since one nickel equals 5 cents, you'd multiply 10 nickels by 5 cents apiece and yield 50 cents to spend.
