Select the correct answer. Rick is driving to his uncle's house in Greensville, which is 120 miles from Rick's town. After covering x miles, Rick sees a sign stating that Greensville is 20 miles away. Which equation, when solved, will give the value of x? A. x + 120 = 20 B. x × 120 = 20 C. x + 20 = 120 D. x × 20 = 120

a

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
