Acrane able can support a maximum load of 15,000 kg. if a bucket has a mass of2,000 kg and gravel has a mass of 1,500 kg for every cubic meter, how many cubicmeters of gravel can be safely lifted by the crane?

Let

x-------> amount of cubic meters of gravel that can be safely lifted by the crane

we know that

Solve for x

therefore

the answer is

the amount of cubic meters of gravel that can be lifted safely by the crane cannot exceed

step-by-step explanation:

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1
