Answer:

the approximate value of x is 594.791.

Explanation:

e^(ln(5x + 7)) = e^8

The natural logarithm and exponential functions are inverses of each other, so they cancel out:

5x + 7 = e^8

5x = e^8 - 7

Divide both sides by 5:

x = (e^8 - 7) / 5

x ≈ (e^8 - 7) / 5 ≈ (2980.957987 - 7) / 5 ≈ 2973.957987 / 5 ≈ 594.791
