Step-by-step explanation:
Rich deposited $293 for 2 years at 2.5% simple interest rate
Step-by-step answer:
Let's attack the left side:
log_8 12 = log (base 8) 12 = log(12)/log(8) = 1.1949875 (approx.)
Next solve
log_8 12 = x-2
log(12)/log(8) = x-2
x = 2 + log(12)/log(8)
= 3.195 (to one thousandth)
