Is that (2x+7) raised to 27? (Is 27 an exponent?)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
uhm the 2x+7 is like an exponent but lower not higher
OpenStudy (ranga):
Does it look like this?\[\Large \log_{(2x+7)} 27 = 3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (ranga):
\[\Large \log_{b} A = C\]means\[\Large A = b^{C} \]Can you take it from here?

soo 27=2x+7^3?
OpenStudy (ranga):
Exactly. But you need to put parenthesis: 27=(2x+7)^3
Take the cube root on both sides.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
19683=2x+343
I got 9,670
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait so just cube the 2x and 7?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
27=8x+343
-316
with that i got -39.5

No. Cube root of 27 is 3 because 27 = 3 x 3 x 3
Cube root of (2x+7)^3 is: [ (2x+7)^3 ]^1/3. The 3 and 1/3 will cancel out leaving you with just (2x+7)
So 2x + 7 = 3. Solve for x
