OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need an exact answer, or a decimal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we can start with \[5+\log(5)=2^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

erm, im not too sure. I have to type in the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by the change of base formula if \[5+\log(5)=2^x\] then \[x=\frac{\ln(5+\log(5))}{\ln(2)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure what kind of answer you are looking for if you want a decimal look at this http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=6-2^x%2B \log%285%29%3D1&a=*FunClash.log-_*Log10-
