Solve ln(x+3)^5 +9 =19. If the answer is not an integer, enter it as a decimal. Round to the nearest hundredth, if needed.

Question

Please show steps. I do not have a proper calculator so please do not tell me to use one to solve...thanks

Answer 1

ln (x+3)⁵ + 9 = 19

ln(x+3)⁵ = 10

5 ln(x+3) = 10

ln(x+3) = 2

x+3 = e²

x = e²-3

x = 4.39

 

Answer 2

ln((x+3)⁵) + 9 = 19

 

5*ln(x+3) = 10

 

ln(x+3) = 2

 

(x+3) = e²

 

x = e² - 3 = 7.39 - 3 = 4.39
