OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):

What is the exact value of x in the exponential equation 25x − 57 = 43?

OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):

Here are the options

OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):

Are you able to help me out @plainntall

OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):

@sammixboo

OpenStudy (plainntall):

I don't understand the question. 25x-57=43 25x=100 x=4 Did they want you to express 4 in terms of a log?

OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):

I honestly have no idea.. This is liberal arts math and its soooo confusing..

OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):

I literally have people telling me on here they cant solve different things i post. even the higher level people which really sucks when i need the help

OpenStudy (plainntall):

Is that how the equation looks or does it look like \[x^{25}-57=43\]

OpenStudy (plainntall):

or maybe \[25^{x}-5^{7}=4^{3}\]

OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):

2^5x-57=43

OpenStudy (angiepangie0726):

Sorry about that!

OpenStudy (plainntall):

so that give us \[2^{5x}=43+75=100=10^2\] \[\log_{2} 100=2=5x\] x=2/5
