Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard equation of direct variation:

y = kx

We need to find k.

We use the given point.

When x = 3, y = 9.

9 = k * 3

k = 3

Our equation is

y = 3x

Now we find x when y = -27.

y = 3x

-27 = 3x

x = -9

2^x+5 = 3^1-x use logarithms to solve the exponential equation. round answer to 3 decimal places.

marysya [2.9K]

$2^{x+5}=3^{1-x}\ \ \ \ \ /log_2()\\\\log_22^{x+5}=log_23^{1-x}\\\\x+5=(1-x)log_23\\\\x+5=log_23-xlog_23\\\\x+xlog_23=log_23-5\\\\x(1+log_23)=log_23-5\ \ \ \ /:(1+log_23)$

$x=\frac{log_23-5}{1+log_23}\\-------------\\log_23\approx1.5849625\\----------------\\x\approx\frac{1.5849625-5}{1+1.5849625}\approx-1.321$
