The ratio of the length of the room to its area is
So the expression is:

You can combine like terms, which are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. That means you can combine the two

.

The other terms can't be combined.
Your final answer should be

.
ln 5
e = ?
x
Keep in mind that y=e and y = ln x are inverse functions of one another.
ln 5
e , we can drop both the "e" and the "ln 5." We are left with 5 (answer).
ln 5
Alternatively, we could take the ln of both sides of y = e
which will result in ln y = (ln 5) ln e. Note that ln e = 1 (these two functions are inverses of one another).
Then we are left with ln y = ln 5. Dropping the "ln" operator from both sides,
y=5 (same as before).
Answer:
It will take him 7 ½ days.
Step-by-step explanation:
He goes up 2 ½ but falls back down ½ so you take the two and do 15/2 and get 7.5 which is 7 ½ days.
-5(2x+1)-2x-2=17
first, distribute
-10x-5-2x-2=17
combine like terms
-12x-7=17
get the x alone, eliminate the constant
-12x=24
divide out the -12 to get the x alone.
x=-2
