Question

Solve 3x − 8 = 8 for x using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b.

Answer 1

Answer:

3^x-8=8 then x=log_3(16)

3^(x-8)=8 then log_3(8)+8

Step-by-step explanation:

So if it is 3^x-8=8

then 3^x=16

and then convert to logarithmic form you write it as log_3(16)=x

_3 means the subscript (the base) is 3

So if it is 3^(x-8)=8

then the log form is log_3(8)=x-8

add 8 on both sides log_3(8)+8=x
