Atruck is carrying a cars weighing an average of 4500 pounds each what is the total weight in tons of cars on the truck

2.25 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a conversion problem. The connection between ton and pound is in the following order:

1 pound = 0.0005 tons

By multiplying each side by 4500 we can easily find the answer of this problem:

4500 pounds = 2.25 tons

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1
