help please: log problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3^{x-3}=81\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3^x-2=3^4 so, x-2=4 x=4+2 x=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u understnd.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it said x-2=3^4 ..it wouldn't be x-3=3^4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

becoz 81=3x3x3x3=3^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know just where is the x-2 coming from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

becoz 3^x-2=3^4 on both side the base r equal so the powers r also equal x-2=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok,any other questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. \[\log _{5}x=-3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=5^-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log _{10}100000=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
