Solve 2 log2 2 + 2 log2 6 − log2 3x = 3. x = 2 x = 6 x = 16 x = 18
@IMStuck
Let me ask you something first...how do you tag someone for a question? Like up above, you have my name with the @ symbol...how do you do that? I have no clue. Tell me and I'll help you! wink wink
Ok, step by step on this one, ok?
\[2\log _{2}2+2\log _{2}6-\log _{2}3x=3\]\[\log _{2}(2^{2}*6^{2})-\log _{2}3x=3\]\[\log _{2}(4*36)-\log _{2}3x=3\]\[\log _{2}(144)-\log _{2}3x=3\]
Look closely step by step. I am doing it one thing at a time, not skipping any steps at all.
you hold down the shift key then hit the @ symbol and type in whoever you want to tag
\[\log _{2}\frac{ 144 }{ 3x }=3\]Our rule of logs tells us then that:\[2^{3}=\frac{ 144 }{ 3x }\]\[8=\frac{ 144 }{ 3x }\]Multiply both sides by 3x to get this:\[8(3x)=144\]\[24x=144\]\[x=6\]
Thank you for that tip! I have been wondering about that forever!
no, thank you.
Thanks for the medal!
ps. logs stink. Just try and memorize the rules for them, ok?
ok
i have one more and then i'll leave you alone
Let's see it
Evaluate log6 14. 1.47 0.68 2.33 0.43
Let me think a sec...rules, rules, rules...
Ok, here we go...rules rules rules...
First thing to do is to set the dumb thing = to x. Like this, which will then give us something to solve for.
