log2(2x-3)=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log _{2}2x-3=-1\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I put 2 as the base for the right side of the equation and got stuck.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take the base, 2, and do \[2^{\log _{2}2x-3}=2^{-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, the log and exponential cancel out on the left so it leaves you with \[2x-3=2^{-1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2x-3=1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. can you solve it from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe so is the answer 7/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct
