Question

Using a table of values, what is the solution to this equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

`(7)/(x+2)=log(x+5)`

The expression on the left is 7/(x+2)

The expression on the right is log(x+5)

Construct a table using x = 0, 2, 4, 5

Any value of x for which 7/(x+2) = log(x+5) is the solution to the equation

As seen from the table above:

At x = 5 7/(x+2) = log(x + 5)

Therefore, x = 5 is a solution to the given equation
