Check Your Understanding Lucas just received his credit card statement. He has a balance of $3,333.67. The Minimum
Payment Warning Box states that if he makes only the minimum payment of $35 per month, it will
take him 12 years and will pay a total of $6,472. If he makes a monthly payment of $116, it will take
3 years to pay off the balance and he will have paid a total of $4,193. What will be the percent
increase in total payments if Lucas only pays the minimum rather than $116 per month?

idk im srry

step-by-step explanation:

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
