Solve this equation for x. Round your answer to

the nearest hundredth.

s the

7 = In (x + 3)

Rewrite the equation using the properties of logarithms:

e^ln (x+3) = e^7

Exponentiation and ln are inverse functions so the equation simplifies to:

x + 3 = e^7

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = e^7 - 3

Raise e to the power of 7 and subtract 3 from that:

x = 1093.633 (Rounded to the nearest hundredth).
