Solve the following equation. Write answers in exact form using logarithms if needed (no decimals): log5(x+2)=3
Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
solve for x
log5(x+2)=3
convert to exponential form: base(5) raised to log of number(3)=number(x+2)
5^3=x+2
x+2=125
x=125-2
x=123
