Solve for n.\[\huge 9^{n+10}+3=81\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ill help
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay well I don't know what to do for this problem. Do I start by subtracting 3 on both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes if that is really the question you have to subtract 3 first
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it would be a lot easier if it was
\[ 9^{n+10}+3=84\]

\[\huge 9^{n+10}=78\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now what do I do next? I know it's a logarithmic problem.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
use the change of base formula
\[n+10=\frac{\ln(78)}{\ln(9)}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so
\[n=\frac{\ln(78)}{\ln(9)}-10\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[9^{n+10} + 3 = 81 \]
\[9^{n+10} = 78 \]
\[ln(9^{n+10})= ln 78 \]
\[(n + 10) \ln(9) = \ln(78) \]
\[n + 10 = \ln(78) / \ln(9)\]
\[n = [\ln(78) / \ln(9)] - 10\]
\[n ≈ -8.0172\]
