Solve: 2 ln 3 = ln(x - 4)
a)x = 9
b)x = 10
c)x = 13
Answer:
x = 13
Explanation:
To solve the problem above, we will follow the steps below;
2 ln 3 = ln(x - 4)
[using logarithm rule aInb = Inbᵃ]
so also our equation becomes
In 3² = In (x-4)
The In at the left-hand side of the equation will cancel-out the In at the right-hand side of the equation
Our equation becomes;
3² = x- 4
9 = x-4
add 4 to both-side of the equation in other to make x subject of the equation
9 + 4 = x-4 + 4
13 = x
x = 13
