Question

What is the solution to the equation 3 1 – 2x = 2 ?

x ≈ –0.292

x ≈ –0.185

x ≈ 0.185

x ≈ 0.292

Answer 1

31-2=2x...now solve for x

Answer 2

is it 3(1-2x)=2

Answer 3

Is the equation

\[\Large 3^{1-2x} = 2\]

???

Answer 4

You must have written the problem down wrong.

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

can you rewrite your equation?

Answer 7

What is the solution to the equation 3 ^1 – 2x = 2 ?

Answer 8

That still wouldn't give any of the possible answers you have listed.

Answer 9

3-2x=2......3-2=2x....now you can solve for x

Answer 10

Oh, I see now.

Answer 11

Just one sec.

Answer 12

You have to use logarithms to solve this problem.

Answer 13

everything is correct but the final answer is positive

Answer 14

Whoops, Jim is right.

Answer 15

\[\Large 3^{1-2x} = 2\]


\[\Large 1-2x = \log_{3}(2)\]


\[\Large -2x = \log_{3}(2) - 1\]


\[\Large x = -\frac{\log_{3}(2) - 1}{2}\]


\[\Large x \approx 0.18453512321428\]


\[\Large x \approx 0.185\]

Answer 16

How did you get that Jim I have no idea how to

Answer 17

which step is throwing you off?

Answer 18

Everything lol

Answer 19

Step 1 ... Start with the original equation

Step 2 ... Convert to logarithmic form

Step 3 ... Subtract 1 from both sides.

Step 4 ... Divide both sides by -2.

Step 5 ... Use a calculator to approximate the right side

Note: you type in "-(log(2)/log(3)-1)/(2)" without quotes

Step 6 ... Round to 3 decimal places

Answer 20

Let me know if that helps
