Question

52. Solve ln2 + lnx = 5. Round to the nearest thousandth, if necessary

Answer 1

first subtract ln(2) from both sides

Answer 2

ln (x)= 5- ln(2)
which is the same as
ln(x)=5+ln(0.5)

now we can isolate the x on the left side by log e to both sides
x=e^(5+ln(0.5))
then the e and ln will cancel out
x=e^(5)*0.5
