Please help me with my question :( :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-e ^{6-9p}+5=-48.4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 5 change the sign of both sides take the log

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1. Subtract 5 from both sides. 2. Multiply both sides by -1 3. Take the ln of both sides 4. Use the property lne^x=xlne on the left side. 5. Recall that lne=1 6. Subtract 6 from both sides. 7. Divide both sides by -9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how we are getting -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me this little bit in numbers like these wordings are making me confuse

OpenStudy (mertsj):

-e means -1(e)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Just take 1 step at a time. You can surely understand what subtract 5 from both sides means.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but when we ll going to multiply both sides by -1 isnt it going to give me 9 not -9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bcoz the answer I m getting is 6.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-e ^{6-9p}+5=-48.4\] \[-e^{6-9p}=-53.8\] \[e^{6-9p}=53.8\] \[6-9p=\ln(53.8)\] \[-9p=\ln(53.8)-6\] \[p=\frac{\ln(53.8)-6}{-9}\] then a calculator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you dont mind can you help me with one more question please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-10e ^{2-2b}-6=-66\]
