Question

What is the exact solution of e^x + 3 = 20?

Answer 1

The first step to solving this is to move the constant to the right side of the equation and then change its sign.

`e^(x)` = 20 - 3
Subtract the numbers on the right side of the equation

`e^(x)` = 17
Since there were no variable provide for e or x,, we must take the natural logarithm of both side of the equation. This will look like the following:
x = ln(17)
This means that the correct answer to your question is x = ln(17),, or x ≈ 2.83321.
