Question

Pls help how do i solve log(5x+2)=1

like what rule do I use and how do I do it step by step

Answer 1

x = -0.2

Explanation:

(5x + 2) = 1

- 2 -2

--------------------

5x = -1

Divide each side by 5

-1/5

= -0.2

Check:

(5x + 2) = 1

replace x with -0.2

(-1 + 2) = 1

1 = 1

The equation is true.

Hope this helped :)
