Using the linear combination method, what is the solution to the system of linear equations 7x-2y--20 and 9x+4y=-62
(-3,2)
(-2,3)
(2, -3)
(3,-2)

55

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2
