A boy purchased (bought) a party-length sandwich 59 in. long. He wants to cut it into three pieces so that the middle piece is 6 in. longer than the shortest piece and the shortest piece is 8 in shorter than the longest piece. How long should the three pieces be?

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  

x

=240

=48
