Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equations can be solved by taking Ln (natural logarithm) of both sides. The rule we need to know is:

Now lets work out this problem:

Using calculator, we take the values of Ln 16 and Ln 13 as:

Ln 16 = 2.7726

Ln 13 = 2.5649

Now, we can solve for x:

x is -3.69 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

a.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1 distribute 2 to every term in the parentheses

step 2 add 10 on both sides of the equal sign

the answer is 150.6

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply .02 by 30 and get .6.

and then you multiply 5.00 by 30 and get 150.
