\(\large \bf -3(5^x)=-51?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thats the equation

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

assuming you've already covered logarithms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i have.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \large { -3(5^x)=-51\implies 5^5=\cfrac{\cancel{ -51 }}{\cancel{ -3 }}\implies 5^x=17 \\ \quad \\ {\color{red}{ a}}^y={\color{blue}{ b}}\implies log_{\color{red}{ a}}{\color{blue}{ b}}=y\qquad thus \\ \quad \\ {\color{red}{ 5}}^x={\color{blue}{ 17}}\implies ? }\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm I evn put a 5 up there hhhe lemme fix that quick \(\large \bf { -3(5^x)=-51\implies 5^x=\cfrac{\cancel{ -51 }}{\cancel{ -3 }}\implies 5^x=17 \\ \quad \\ {\color{red}{ a}}^y={\color{blue}{ b}}\implies log_{\color{red}{ a}}{\color{blue}{ b}}=y\qquad thus \\ \quad \\ {\color{red}{ 5}}^x={\color{blue}{ 17}}\implies ? }\)
