Solution: #x ~~ -5.59 #

Explanation:

#2.3 =2 ^(x/9+1) +1 or 2 ^(x/9+1) =2.3-1 # or

#2^(x/9)*2^1 =1.3 or 2^(x/9)=1.3/2 or 2^(x/9)=0.65 #

Taking log on both sides we get ,

#x/9log 2 =log(0.65) or x/9 =log(0.65) /log2# or

#x/9=-0.621488 or x=9*(-0.621488)

or #x ~~ -5.59(2dp) #

Solution: #x ~~ -5.59(2dp) # [Ans]
