975^x / (975^x + 599^x) - 110/154 = 0, solve for x
Ah. So, since your class hasn't covered any techniques for solving this sort of equation, we probably need to see the rest of the exercise, from the beginning, to see if perhaps an error was made along the way. :idea:absolutjosh said:this is actually the second part of a bigger problem....
Thank you!Post the complete text of the exercise. This would include the full statement of the exercise and its instructions, so the tutors will know what you are working on.... Even if you're asking only about the very end of the solution process, still include all of your intermediate steps. Errors may have occurred earlier than you'd realized....
Have you covered logs yet? (I used logs to find the answer.)absolutjosh said:I'm in precal and we just finished an algebra review unit. The method of finding the solution doesn't matter. And I'm using a graphic calculator.

Yikes...that's wrong, Denis! No need for iteration: thanks, Mr K :idea:Denis said:You can't solve directly; you need to use "ITERATION"; google it
