Question

however, she is not quite sure where to start. Using complete sentences, describe to Erika how to solve this equation

Answer 1

Explanation:

For the given equation

$50^x=17$

For Erika to resolve the question

Step 1: We will take the logarithm of both sides

$\log (50^x)=\log (17)$

Step 2: Simplify the expression

Thus

$x\log 50=\log 17$

Step 3: Solve for x

$x=\frac{\log 17}{\log 50}$

$x=0.724$
