When 3 is added to a number, and the result is multiplied by 5, you obtain two times the number

Hi

to solve you must transcrive every word in math terms correctly.

so let's first give a name to our mysterious number. As you know, in math we generally call unknown by letter. " X"

so let's now play the detective.

what do we know on " X" ?

we add 3 to X so we have : X+3

then we multiply by 5. so. ( X+3) *5 .

if we do that we have twice X , so 2X

so ( X+3) * 5 = 2 X

now that we have translatted our data in math term, let's unmask. " X"

( X+3) *5 = 2X

5*X +3*5 = 2X

5X +15 = 2X

5X-2X = -15

3X = -15

X = -15/3

X = -5

So is " -5" is our guy.

let's check it out to be sure .

-5 +3 = -2

-2*5 = -10

-10 is twice -5. so -5 is the correct answer.

Ps : some operation are commonly implied. if you do not. know how I could write some line in the calculus, dont hesitate to ask in comments.

There is no mysteries in math everything is done according to rules and can be explained. So don't hesitate !

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
