Solve 8^(x+2)=5 by taking logs of both sides. Please write a step by step guide.

x=−1.226024

Step-by-step explanation: Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

8x+2=5

Solve Exponent.

8x+2=5

log(8x+2)=log(5)(Take log of both sides)

(x+2)*(log(8))=log(5)

x+2=

log(5)

log(8)

x+2=0.773976

x+2−2=0.773976−2(Subtract 2 from both sides)

x=−1.226024

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

step-by-step explanation:   divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal

it would still be 193

if divide by 100 then 1.93
