Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIST Angie is working on solving the exponential equation 23x = 6; however, she is not quite sure where to start. Using complete sentences, describe to Angie how to solve this equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

23ˣ = 6

Take the natural log of both sides:

In(23ˣ) = In(6)

expand:

xIn(23) = In(6)

Divide both sides by In(23):

$\frac{In(6)}{In(23)}$

x = $\frac{In(6)}{In(23)}$ or  x = 0.57          

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure you are capable of putting it into sentences yourself. :)

Answer 2

Answer:6/23

Step-by-step explanation:When you have problems like this you simply ask yourself what number do I have to multiply by 23 to get 6? This is how you might read this mathematical expression. So how do we solve the problem?

Well if x is the number that we have to multiply by 23 to get 6 that means that if we divide 6, 26 times we get x. So, x would be 6/23.
