Answer

The value of the expression $30{{e}^{0.7x}}\le 240$ is $ x\le 2.97$.

Work Step by Step

We have to find the value of x from $30{{e}^{0.7x}}\le 240$ as given below: $\begin{align} & 30{{e}^{0.7x}}\le 240 \\ & {{e}^{0.7x}}\le 8 \\ & 0.7x\ln e\le \ln 8 \end{align}$ And simplify it further, to get: $\begin{align} & 0.7x\le 2.08 \\ & x\le 2.97 \end{align}$ Thus, the value of x is $ x\le 2.97$.
