3^x= 3*2^x solve this equation​

In the equation

3^x = 3\cdot 2^x

divide both sides by 2^x to get

\dfrac{3^x}{2^x} = 3 \cdot \dfrac{2^x}{2^x} \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac32\right)^x = 3

Take the base-3/2 logarithm of both sides:

\log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac32\right)^x = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies x \log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac 32\right) = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = \log_{3/2}(3)}

Alternatively, you can divide both sides by 3^x:

\dfrac{3^x}{3^x} = \dfrac{3\cdot 2^x}{3^x} \\\\ \implies 1 = 3 \cdot\left(\dfrac23\right)^x \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac23\right)^x = \dfrac13

Then take the base-2/3 logarith of both sides to get

\log_{2/3}\left(2/3\right)^x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac23\right) = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(3^{-1}\right) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = -\log_{2/3}(3)}

(Both answers are equivalent)

Evaluate 14 + (-8) ÷ 2 · -3. -9 15 26 -30
Rudiy27

For this case we must evaluate the following expression:

14 + (- 8) ÷ 2 * -3

According to the method of algebraic resolution, called PEMDAS, the divisions and multiplications must be made from left to right, before the addition and subtraction, then:

14 + (- 4) * - 3 =

We eliminate the parenthesis keeping in mind that - * - = +

14 + 12 =

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed:

14 + 12 = 26
