Can someone please help! I will fan+medal! 2=log(3x+4) 1.Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation. 2. Simplify and solve the equation to get the solution

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

there's no explicit log base.. meaning... is "10", so you know \(\bf y=log_{\color{red}{ a}}({\color{blue}{ b}})\implies {\color{red}{ a}}^y={\color{blue}{ b}}\qquad thus \\ \quad \\ 2=log(3x+4)\implies 2=log_{\color{red}{ 10}}({\color{blue}{ 3x+4}})\implies ?\)

\[10^{2}=3x+4\]
