Keith had 37 peaches left at his roadside fruit stand. He went to the orchard and picked more peaches to stock up the stand. There are now 72 peaches at the stand, how many did he pick ?

35

Step-by-step explanation:

37 + x = 72

x = 72 - 37

x = 35

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
