what is the solution to the equation below?round your answer to two decimal places 3e^2x+ 12 =42

Answer:
c) x = 1.15
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]3e^{2x}+12=42[/tex]
Rearranging the equation
[tex]\\\Rightarrow 3e^{2x}=42-12\\\Rightarrow 3e^{2x}=30\\\Rightarrow e^{2x}=\frac{30}{3}\\\Rightarrow e^{2x}=10[/tex]
Taking natural logarithm on both sides because [tex]lne^x=x[/tex]
[tex]lne^{2x}=ln10\\\Rightarrow 2x=ln10\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{ln10}{2}\\\Rightarrow x=1.15129[/tex]
∴ x = 1.15
