Mr. Donahue needs 4 1/2 pounds of flour to make 5 loafs of bread. He bought 50 pound bag of flour that costs $64.99. About how much will Mr. Donahue spend on flour for a loaf of bread?​

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
