According to statistics, a person will devote 37 years to sleeping and watching tv. the number of years sleeping will exceed the number of years watching tv by 19. over the lifetime, how many years will the person spend on each of these activities? the person will spend x years watching tv and x years sleeping

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

2  

x

=240
