X=-2 2/5

X=-2.4

X=-12/5

Blayne · Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

ln (10^ (3x-8)) = ln (2^ (5-x))

[3x-8]ln (10) = [5-x]ln (2)

[3x-8]/[5-x] = ln (2) / ln (10)

(3*ln (10)) x - 8*ln (10) = (5*ln (2)) - ln2*x

(3*ln (10)) x + ln2*x = 8*ln (10) + (5*ln (2))

x (3*ln (10) + ln2) = 8*ln (10) + (5*ln (2))

7.6x = 21.886

x=2.88
