Use natural logarithms to solve the equation

8e^3x + 4 = 15

round to the nearest thousandth.

a) 0.106

b) -1.124

c) 0.288

d) 0.100

A) 0.106

Step-by-step explanation:

8e^3x + 4 = 15

Subtract 4 from each side

8e^3x + 4-4 = 15-4

8e^3x  = 11  

Divide each side by 8

8/8e^3x = 11/8

e^(3x) = 11/8

Take the natural log of each side

ln(e^(3x)) = ln(11/8)

3x = ln(11/8)

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 1/3 ln(11/8)

x = 1/3 ln(11/8)

x =.106151244

To the nearest thousandth

x = .106
