Question

Which statement is true for log3(x+1)=2

Answer 1

Log₃ (x+1) = 3
It could be written:
(x+1)= 3³==> x+1 = 27 ==> x =27-1 =26

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 8 is the correct statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is $log_{3}(x+1)=2$

Now from the rules of the logarithm

$log_{3}(x+1)=2$

$3^{2}=(x+1)$  [Since $log_{a}b=c\Rightarrow b=a^{c}$]

Therefore $3^{2}=(x+1)$

x + 1 = 9

x = 9 - 1 = 8

Therefore answer will be x = 8.
