ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given equation is

Divide both sides by


Cancel out common factors on the left hand side,

For this solution to be a whole number, then

should be a factor of

.
The reason is that, factors of 6 will divide exactly in to 6 without a remainder, making the answer a whole number.
The whole numbers that are factors of 6 are,

Note that, the set of whole numbers are,
{

}
5-3^x = -40
subtract 5 from each side to get
-3^x=-45
divide both sides by -1 to make them positive
3^x = 45
need to do the natural logarithm on both sides to remove the variable from the exponent
so ln(3^x) = ln(45)
use logarithm rule to move x out
x ln (3) = ln(45)
dive each term by ln(3) then simplify to get
ln(3)/ln(45)
so x = ln(3)/ln(45) which calculates out to 3.46497352
round off to ten thousandths is 3.4650
-6+2
--------- =
10-10
-4
---- =
0
m=0
*(the "-----" are supposed to be fractions, sorry if that looks confusing)*
y+2=0(x-10)
y+2=0
-2 -2
y=-2
Your answer would be "y=-2."
