Answer 2

well this is a guess and check method...

so let x = 10

substitute it and then calculate the value...

that's how it appears you are being asked to get a solution.

If the value of 10 doesn't work, then put a larger or smaller value in.

and then keep adjusting till you get an answer

Answer 3

2ln(2.2+2.8)=3.218875825


is that what im looking for

Answer 4

???

Answer 5

seems to make sense to me... but you need to refine the value of x as they ask for 3 decimal places... at the moment you have 1

Answer 6

2ln(2.232+2.8)=3.231635039

Answer 7

?????

Answer 8

well I think you are still a little high...

look at x = 2.153

and then see what you get

Answer 9

3.199986907

Answer 10

so that's very close to 3.2

so that would be my answer

Answer 11

ok thank you
