Find the Value of x: given 2x × 3x+4 = 7x.
We will be simplifying the equation and logarithms to solve this.
Answer: The value of x in the given equation 2x × 3x+4 = 7x is 28.4835
Let's solve this step by step.
Explanation:
Given, 2x × 3x+4 = 7x
Apply logarithms (log) on both sides.
⇒ log(2x × 3x+4) = log(7x)
⇒ log(2x) + log(3x+4) = log(7x) [Using log (ab) = log a + log b]
⇒ x log(2) + (x + 4) log(3) = x log(7) [Since, log am = m log a]
⇒ x log(2) + x log(3) + 4log(3) = x log(7)
⇒ x [(log(7) - log(2) - log(3)] = 4log(3)
⇒ x = 4log(3) / [(log(7) - log(2) - log(3)]
Using the logarithm calculator, we have:
log(2) = 0.3010
log(3) = 0.4771
log(7) = 0.8451
Substituting the values above:
⇒ x = 4(0.4771) / [0.8451 - 0.3010 - 0.4771]
⇒ x = 1.9084 / [0.067]
⇒ x = 28.4835
Thus, the value of x in the given equation 2x × 3x+4 = 7x is 28.4835.
