Answer:
impossible
Step-by-step explanation:
X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 56. To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract 3 from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. ...
3X + 3 = 56. 3X + 3 - 3 = 56 - 3.
3X = 53. 3X/3 = 53/3.
X = 17 2/3. Since 17 2/3 is not an integer, there is no true answer to this problem.
Answer:
use logarithms
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of an expression with a variable in the exponent makes the exponent become a coefficient of the logarithm of the base.

You will note that this approach works well enough for ...
a^(x+3) = b^(x-6) . . . . . . . . . . . variables in the exponents
(x+3)log(a) = (x-6)log(b) . . . . . a linear equation after taking logs
but doesn't do anything to help you solve ...
x +3 = b^(x -6)
There is no algebraic way to solve equations that are a mix of polynomial and exponential functions.

Some functions have been defined to help in certain situations. For example, the "product log" function (or its inverse) can be used to solve a certain class of equations with variables in the exponent. However, these functions and their use are not normally studied in algebra courses.
In any event, I find a graphing calculator to be an extremely useful tool for solving exponential equations.
Answer:
there are 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
3, 4 and 3 are all significant numbers
If the train travels 744 miles in 3 hours then to determine the unit rate the train is traveling per hour you have to divide the miles by the hours, in this case (744 miles)/(3 hours). The final result concludes as 248 miles per hour.
