Q. 6⋅24x=222What is the solution of the equation?Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest thousandth.x≈
Isolate exponential term: Isolate the exponential term.To solve for x, we first need to isolate the term containing the variable x, which is 2x/4. We do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 6.6⋅2x/4=2222x/4=62222x/4=37
Take logarithm of sides: Take the logarithm of both sides.To solve for the exponent x/4, we take the logarithm of both sides of the equation. We can use the natural logarithm (ln) or the logarithm base 2 (log2) for convenience. Here, we'll use the natural logarithm.ln(2x/4)=ln(37)
Apply power rule: Apply the power rule of logarithms.The power rule of logarithms states that ln(ab)=b⋅ln(a). We apply this rule to the left side of the equation.4x⋅ln(2)=ln(37)
Solve for x: Solve for x.Now we need to solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4 and then dividing by ln(2).x=ln(2)4⋅ln(37)
Calculate x value: Calculate the value of x.Using a calculator, we find the value of x.x≈(4×ln(37))/ln(2)x≈(4×3.610918)/0.693147x≈14.443672/0.693147x≈20.839
