Ms. Roque paints the top of a round picnic table. The diameter of the table is 6 feet. The paint he uses comes in a can that covers 18 square feet of surface. What is the minimum number of cans of paint that Ms. Roque will need to purchase to paint one coat on the top of the table?

-2 is the right

what statement? is there an image?

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

2  

x

​    

=240

=48
