Solve 5(2^x+4)=15 round to the nearest thousandth

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by dividing by 5

2x + 4 = 3            

Is this written as 2^(x + 4) = 3? I think it is.

Take the log of both sides

log 2^(x + 4) = log(3)

(x + 4) * log(2) = log 3

log 2 = 0.30103

log 3 = 0.47712

(x + 4) = log2 / log3

x + 4 = 0.63093               Add 4 to both sides

x = -3.369                        Rounded to the nearest thousandth

====================

If you mean the question exactly as it is written (the 4 is not part of the power)

5(2^x + 4) = 15

2^x + 4 = 3

2^x = 3 - 4

2^x = - 1

This can't be done 2 to any power should be >0.

if x>0 then this will give an ever increasing number

if xK0 then this will give an ever decreasing answer but still greater than 0.

No value will make 2^x go to something minus.

If I have misread this in some way, leave a note and I will get back to you.

lord [1]

Answer:

7y + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the negative sign to the left of the parentheses as being -1. Then apply the distributive property. The effect of a negative sign to the left of parentheses or a 1 to the left of parentheses is that each term inside the parentheses changes sign.

-(-7y - 24) = -1(-7y - 24) = (-1)(-7y) - (-1)(24) = 7y - (-24) = 7y + 24

Decide if the expressions in each pair are equivalent. Explain how you know.
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

x + x + x + x is the same as 4x

because its "x four times"

5x and x+5 are not the same because x+5 in not "x five times"

5x is 5 multiplied by x.

x + 5 is 5 added to x.
