Your answer

Hello there, and welcome to !

In the following question, you are solving for the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operation, and stands for:

Parenthesis

Exponents (& Roots)

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

First, add 2 to both sides of the equation:

10x - 2 (+2) = 38 (+2)

10x = 38 + 2

10x = 40

Next, divide 10 from both sides of the equation:

(10x)/10 = (40)/10

x = 40/10

x = 4

x = 4 is your answer.

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

see the picture for the graph.
