<span>Christa went shopping for back to school clothes.
She paid a total of 176 dollars before the tax was added on.
Now, how much will she be paying if the sales tax is 6% what was the total amount she paid.
Solutions:
=> 176 dollars * 6% to get the amount
=> 6% / 100% = 0.06
=> 176 dollars * .06 = 10.56
Now, let’s add to get the answer
=> 176 dollars + 10.56 dollars = 186.56 dollars</span>

bekas [8.4K]
X = 1 is the correct answer.
Using the log properties, remember that Log(base2)2 = 1

3log(base2)2x = 3
divide both sides by 3
log(base 2)2x = 1
log(base2)2 = 1
1 * x = 1
x = 1
