The Convenience of eating. Privitera and Zuraikat (2014) conducted a study to test whether the proximity of food influences consumption. The placed a bowl of popcorn or apple slices in container on a table ( near) or 2 meters from a participant ( far). Do the data in the following figure support their hypothesis that the more proximate the food, the more participants will eat of it? explain .

the correct answer is 5 6 and 7

thats not a system of equations, that is a solution

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

2  

x

​    

=240

=48
