Including the bus driver there are 20 people on the bus. during a one hour ride, each person produces 740 btus. the interior of the bus measures 38 ft by 8.25 ft by 7.5 ft. how many btus per cubic foot are produced? enter your answer rounded to the nearest hundredth.

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
