PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!

6^(x-7)=36 solve for x and show work

OpenStudy (phi):

36 = 6^2 you can equate the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since \(36=6^2\) you have \[6^{x-7}=6^2\] this means \[x-2=2\] and you can solve for \(x\) in one step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops typo there, should read "this means \(x-7=2\) and you can solve for \(x\) in one step"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x=9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats how to solve it without using logs. do you know how to solve using logs? (thats the next question)
