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.
The absolute value is basically the distance from zero, and distance is ALWAYS positive. After you removed your negatives, you need to just compare the values. For example. The smallest absolute value between -27 and 19 is 19. Hope this helped!
the answer is C, because you solve 2.815-749, and after you divide the result per 4, so it is 1/4
