Noa was walking in the forest and measured the circumference of two trees that he found. The first tree measured 37 and StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction inches around, and the second tree measured 45 and one-third inches around. Noa wanted to find the difference of the circumferences of the two trees. He recorded his steps in the table. in which step did noa first make an error
step 1
step 2
step 3
step 4

it is

b.4

that is your answer (:

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  

x

=240

=48
