the answer is B

explanation:

I got it right

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

solve systems of equations by graphing. a system of linear equations contains two or more equations e.g. y=0.5x+2 and y=x-2. the solution of such a system is the ordered pair that is a solution to both equations. to solve a system of linear equations graphically we graph both equations in the same coordinate system
