Question

Sold the equation. Round to the nearest hundredth.

17 · $1.8^{-x+7} = 5$

Answer 1

Answer:

Final answer is approx x=4.26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $1.8^{-x+7} = 5$

Now we need to solve equation $1.8^{-x+7} = 5$ and round to the nearest hundredth.

$1.8^{-x+7} = 5$

$\log(1.8^{-x+7}) = \log(5)$

$(-x+7)\log(1.8) = \log(5)$

$(-x+7) = \frac{\log(5)}{\log(1.8)}$

$(-x+7) = \frac{0.698970004336}{0.255272505103}$

$-x+7 = 2.73813274192$

$-x = 2.73813274192-7$

$-x =−4.26186725808$

$x =4.26186725808$

Round to the nearest hundredth.

Hence final answer is approx x=4.26.
