What is the approximate value of x in the equation below?
logs 15 = X+3

X=12

Step-by-step explanation: I think X=12 because 15=X+3 and we subtract 3 from both sides we are left with 12=X.

5x − 15 = −2

     +15    +15      add 15 to both sides, 15's will cancel out and solve -2 + 15.

5x    13  <--- sum of -2 + 15

__ = __        divide 5 on both sides, 5's will cancel out on the left side.

5      5

x = 2.6, final answer :)
