Step-by-step explanation:

she was supposed to add the hours(38.5) and multiply the amount of money she earned(7.50) resulting in $288.75 .

correct me if i'm wrong and if it is i'm truly sorry.

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  

x

=240

=48
