You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve. Where appropriate, include approximations to the nearest thousandth. If no solution exists, state this.
\n" ); document.write( "ln (2x + 3) = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Find antilog (\"e%5Ex\") of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3 = 7.389
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 7.389 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 4.389
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"4.389%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.195
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this: enter into your calc: ln(2(2.195)+3) ans 2.000 confirms our solution

\n" ); document.write( "\"log2sqrt%28x%5E2-4%29+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Assume you mean this is a base 2 log
\n" ); document.write( "Write the exponent equiv of logs
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%5E1+=+sqrt%28x%5E2-4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Which is:
\n" ); document.write( "2 = \"sqrt%28x%5E2-4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "4 = x^2 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "8 = x^2
