Question

e^(x+8)=5

Answer 1

x = ln5 - 8

Answer 2

are you just solving for x?

Answer 3

Yes thank you. I tried to find an example in the book but no luck.

Answer 4

ln(e) always just brings the power of e down to the function
so,
x + 8 = ln5
does that make sense?

Answer 5

that's a very simplified way to say it, but practically true

Answer 6

Yes it makes plenty sense. And you get the ln5-8 by canceling the 8 on the other side...right?

Answer 7

Indeed you do.
