In this equation, x = 7.
In order to solve this you are going to need to use logarithmic functions. By taking a logarithm you can eliminate exponents.

First we're going to take the logarithm of both sides, which allows us to put the exponents in front of the terms.
(x + 2)Log5 = 9Log5
Now that we've done this, we can divide both sides by Log5 and eliminate that term.
x + 2 = 9
From here, we simply need to subtract in order to solve.
x = 7
Answer:
If you are talking about y=
then the graph would be Graph A.
D=18 B=45 I think this is correct it should be
Notice that the pattern is "previous term plus 2". This is an arithmetic sequence where the difference (d) equals +2
= a₁ + d(n - 1) ; where a₁ is the first term, d is the difference, and n is the term.
f(n) = 1 + 2(n - 1)
f(n) = 1 + 2n - 2
f(n) = 2n - 1
********************************
f(10) = 2(10) - 1
f(10) = 20 - 1
f(10) = 19
