QUESTION : In a diagram, ABDE is a rhombus of side 5 cm and the diagonal EB is 6cm. ABC is a straight line and DC is 4.8 cm. Calculate the area of ABCDE (NOTE:SORRY BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE ISN`T A DIAGRAM )

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

=48
