Q. 3⋅50.2w=720What is the solution of the equation?Round your answer, if necessary, to the nearest thousandth.w≈□
Isolate variable term: First, let's isolate the term with the variable w by dividing both sides of the equation by 3.5(0.2w)=37205(0.2w)=240
Get rid of exponent: Now, we need to get rid of the exponent. We can do this by taking the logarithm of both sides. Let's use the natural logarithm (ln) for this.ln(50.2w)=ln(240)
Take natural logarithm: Using the property of logarithms that allows us to move the exponent to the front, we get:0.2w⋅ln(5)=ln(240)
Divide by ln(5): Now, we'll divide both sides by ln(5) to solve for w.w=0.2×ln(5)ln(240)
Calculate final value: Let's do the calculation.w≈0.2×ln(5)ln(240)w≈0.2×1.609437912434100322.18070977791825w≈0.3218875824868200622.18070977791825w≈68.906
