What is the solution to the equation 9(x + 1) = 27?

Question

anonymous · Answer

og(9^(x - 1)) = log(27) 
(x - 1)*log(9) = log(27) 
x - 1 = log(27) / log(9) 
x - 1 = 1.5 
x = 1.5 + 1 
x = 2.5?

swissgirl · Answer

Ok first step is to distribute the 9
9x+9=27
Then subtract or add any constants.
IN this case subtract the 9 from both sides
9x+9-9=27-9
9x=18
Now divide 9 from both sides
9x/9=18/9
x=2
