\log_{2}(8x-6)=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rewrite in equivalent exponential form \[\log_b(x)=y\iff b^y=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your first step is write \[2^5=8x-6\] then solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got this now right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no am still confuss, to tell you the truth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer x = -20.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok we got \[2^5=8x-6\] so \[32=8x-6\] add 6 get \[38=8x\][ divide by 8 get \[x=\frac{38}{8}=\frac{19}{4}\][
