Jermaine is thinking about attending college. However, he knows that he could get a job right out of high school making about $18,000 a year. He could also work part time while attending four years of college and make $7,000 a year. Assuming grants will pay for his college, how long will it take Jermaine to recover his lost wages if he chooses to go to college and will make $40,000 a year with his degree?

what to say:

explain it people

i dont know sorry

step-by-step explanation:

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
