(sat prep) an airplane has leveled off (is flying horizontally) at an altitude 12000 feet. when the airplane is at point p its pilot can see each of two small towns at points r and t in front of the plane. with angle measures as indicated find m∠prt, m∠t and m∠rpt.

3 is greater then both of those numbers

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
