Q. Solve for the exact value of x.6ln(8x−5)+10=52Answer:
Isolate natural logarithm term: First, isolate the natural logarithm term by subtracting 10 from both sides of the equation.6ln(8x−5)+10−10=52−106ln(8x−5)=42
Divide by 6: Next, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for the natural logarithm of (8x−5).66ln(8x−5)=642ln(8x−5)=7
Exponentiate to remove ln: Now, exponentiate both sides of the equation to remove the natural logarithm, using the property eln(x)=x.eln(8x−5)=e78x−5=e7
Add 5 to isolate x: Add 5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.8x−5+5=e7+58x=e7+5
Divide by 8 to solve for x: Finally, divide both sides by 8 to solve for x.88x=8e7+5x=8e7+5
