Answer: 8.51
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.
Drop the exponents:
Expand the right side:
Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :
Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :
You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:
You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,
