Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve the equation. A number $k$ increased by 7 is 34. An equation that represents this word sentence is . The solution is $k=$ .

k = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the complete question:

Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve the equation. A number k increased by 7 is 34.

An increase in k simply means that there's an addition. This will be:

k + 7 = 34

k = 34 - 7

k = 27

Therefore, the value of k is 27

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
