Algebra.Com's Answer #746608 by addingup(3677)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! not sure how you expect to get 4 as an answer from the equation the way you have it written. I think this is what you are saying: \n" ); document.write( "(e^LOG(e^2))*16 If this is the case, then solving from the inside out: \n" ); document.write( "(e^0.8686)*16 \n" ); document.write( "2.3836*16 = 38.1376\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
