Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
You know how subtraction is the <em>opposite of addition </em>and division is the <em>opposite of multiplication</em>? A logarithm is the <em>opposite of an exponent</em>. You know how you can rewrite the equation 3 + 2 = 5 as 5 - 3 = 2, or the equation 3 × 2 = 6 as 6 ÷ 3 = 2? This is really useful when one of those numbers on the left is unknown. 3 + _ = 8 can be rewritten as 8 - 3 = _, 4 × _ = 12 can be rewritten as 12 ÷ 4 = _. We get all our knowns on one side and our unknown by itself on the other, and the rest is computation.
We know that
; as a logarithm, the <em>exponent</em> gets moved to its own side of the equation, and we write the equation like this:
, which you read as "the logarithm base 3 of 9 is 2." You could also read it as "the power you need to raise 3 to to get 9 is 2."
One historical quirk: because we use the decimal system, it's assumed that an expression like
uses <em>base 10</em>, and you'd interpret it as "What power do I raise 10 to to get 1000?"
The expression
means "the power you need to raise 10 to to get 100 is x," or, rearranging: "10 to the x is equal to 100," which in symbols is
.
(If we wanted to, we could also solve this:
, so

Answer:
a=6
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...
3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)
3a+9-6=21
3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)
3a=21-3
3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)
a=18/3
a=6
to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a
3(a+3)-6=21
3(6+3)-6=21
3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)
29-6=21
21=21
-18 + x = -11
Let's add 18 to both sides
x = 7
