What is the approximate value of q in the equation? q plus the log base 2 of 6 is equal to 2 q plus 2
Answer
A
negative 1 point 6 1 3
B
0 point 5 8 5
C
negative 1 point 5 2 2
D
3 point 0 7 9
Explanation
Subtract q and 2 from both sides to get q = log₂(6) − 2. Since log₂(6) is approximately 2.585, q is approximately 0.585, which matches choice B, 0.585.
