Question

Solve for x: In(x+2)= -5

Answer 1

Answer:
`x=e^(-5)-2`Explanations:

The given equation is:

ln (x + 2) = -5

Take the exponent of both sides

`e^{\ln (x+2)\text{ }}=e^(-5)`

The exponential cancels the ln on the Left Hand Side:

`\text{x + 2 = e}^(-5)`

Subtract 2 from both sides:

`\begin{gathered} \text{x + 2 - 2 = e}^(-5)-2 \\ x=e^(-5)-2 \end{gathered}`
