OpenStudy (anonymous):

what! i thought i did it right!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay i added 1 to both sides, then i got 5x=4. then took log of 5 and added base of 10 to the 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
10^4 is 10000
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh my bad, i attached the wrong picture!
Nnesha (nnesha):
what are you talking about ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is the one im talking about, my bad.
Nnesha (nnesha):
show ur work please that's not right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i stated it above^ added 1, added base of 10, took log of 5 and divided by 5

Nnesha (nnesha):
nah nah nah
it's log (5x-1) you CAN'T Break the rules
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ooh okay my bad. they didnt add the parenthesis! it wasnt clear! hah
Nnesha (nnesha):
-1 is in the parentheses remember first question where you have to change exponential to log form
so now convert log to exponential form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh okay so i get 5x-1=e^3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
which is 5x=21.085 then divide by 5 and get 4.217

hmm but that isnt an option
Nnesha (nnesha):
nope have to change it into exponential form
Nnesha (nnesha):
look at ur first post where i post exponential and log stuff
i can't use colors here :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what should the equation look like then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so do i want it in b^x=y form?
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes !! right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so do i use e at all?
Nnesha (nnesha):
don't need e for this
you have to use e to cancel out "ln"(natural log) not his one
Nnesha (nnesha):
this*

OpenStudy (anonymous):
ah okay. so to make it b^x=y.. does the 5x-1 go in place of y?
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay and 3 goes in place of x?
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes right
Nnesha (nnesha):
and \[\log = \log_{10}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so b^3=5x-1, and b is 10?
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes right you got it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so 1000=5x-1 then add 1 and divide by 5 to get 200. thank you!
Nnesha (nnesha):
np
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2000 was the correct answer.

|dw:1432233047362:dw|
1001 divide by 5 =x
