There was a country concert held at the park. For every 3 men there were 5 women that went to the concert. If 30 more women attended the concert than men, how men and how many women attended the concert.

3m == 5w, that means for such unit, there is a 2 person difference

30 person difference = 30/2 = 15units

and again one unit means 3m and 5w

so 15*3men, and 15*5women

and you can check the difference is 30

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
