Best Answer

5(2X) = 18

take natural log each side

ln[5(2X)] = ln(18)

now, as a logarithmic operation the exponent can come down in front of the log sign

2X ln(5) = ln(18)

divide thus

2X = ln(18)/ln(5) [ not ln(18/5)!!!! ]

2X = 1.795888947

divide by 2

X = 0.8979444735

-------------------------------check in original equation

5(2*0.8979444735) = 18

18 = 18

If an isocceles has a base 3 longer than the leg how long is the base if the perimeter is 18 CM?

With an isosceles triangle both legs are equal. So lets call the legs 2x and the base x+3: 2x+x+3 = 18 2x+x = 18-3 3x = 15 x = 5 Therefore: 5+3 = 8 units which is the length of the base.


How do you solve 2X plus 5 squared equals 7?

2x + 52 = 7 2x + 25 = 7 2x = 7 - 25 2x = -18 x = -18/2 x = -9


Why does 2x-3 equals 2x-5 have no solution?

2x - 3 = 2x - 52x = 2x - 22x - 2x = -20 =/= -2Zero is not equal to -2 so the answer is no solution.

What is 2x-13 equals 5 This is an equation please help?

If 2x - 13 = 5 then 2x = 5 + 13 (we have in effect added 13 to both sides of the equation in this step) 2x = 18 x = 9.


What is five more than twice a number is twenty seven?

This can be realized in numbers as:Five more than (5 +) twice a number (2x) is equal to 27 (=27).5 + 2x = 27Subtract 5 from both sides.2x + 5 (- 5) = 27 (- 5)2x = 22Divide by 2x = 11
