Take ln of both sides: Given the equation 37−2x=54x+11, we will use logarithms to solve for x.Take the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides of the equation to utilize the property that ln(ab)=b⋅ln(a).ln(37−2x)=ln(54x+11)
Apply logarithmic property: Apply the logarithmic property to both sides of the equation.(7−2x)ln(3)=(4x+11)ln(5)
Distribute ln values: Distribute ln(3) and ln(5) on both sides of the equation.7⋅ln(3)−2x⋅ln(3)=4x⋅ln(5)+11⋅ln(5)
Rearrange terms: Rearrange the terms to isolate x on one side of the equation.−2xln(3)−4xln(5)=11ln(5)−7ln(3)
Factor out x: Factor out x from the left side of the equation.x∗(−2∗ln(3)−4∗ln(5))=11∗ln(5)−7∗ln(3)
Divide to solve for x: Divide both sides by (−2ln(3)−4ln(5)) to solve for x.x=−2ln(3)−4ln(5)11ln(5)−7ln(3)
Calculate numerical value: Calculate the numerical value of x using the values of ln(3) and ln(5).x≈(11⋅ln(5)−7⋅ln(3))/(−2⋅ln(3)−4⋅ln(5))
