Select the correct answer. What is the approximate solution to this equation? 4lnx-8=12 A. xapprox 148.4 B. xapprox 10.5 C xapprox 1.61 D xapprox 59,874

To solve the equation $4lnx-8=12$, we first isolate the logarithmic term by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:<br /><br />$4lnx = 20$<br /><br />Next, we divide both sides by 4 to isolate the natural logarithm:<br /><br />$lnx = 5$<br /><br />To solve for x, we take the exponential of both sides:<br /><br />$x = e^5$<br /><br />Using a calculator, we find that $e^5 \approx 148.4$, so the correct answer is A. $x\approx 148.4$.
