Respuesta :

We are asked to solve the exponential equation given below:

e^5x - 5 * e^-2x = 2e

First let's apply the exponent rules:

5x - 5 - 2x = In(2e)

Solving 5x - 5 - 2x = In(2e)

3x - 5 = In(2e)

Add 5 to both sides:

3x = In(2e) + 5

Divide both sides by 3

x = In(2e) + 5

3

x = 2.23104

x = 2.231 (To the nearest thousand)

Therefore, the correct option is A, which is The solution set is 2.231 (Round to the nearest thousand).
