Solve the exponential equation.
116=644x−3
To solve the exponential equation 116 = 644x - 3, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we add 3 to both sides of the equation:
116 + 3 = 644x
119 = 644x
Next, we divide both sides by 644 to solve for x:
x = 119/644
x = 0.18572 (rounded to 5 decimal places)
Therefore, the solution to the exponential equation is x = 0.18572.
