\[6^{2x+1}=5^{x}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[2x+1=\log _{6}5^x\]
OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
yes that corrrect
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Next step what should we do?

HI!!
OpenStudy (misty1212):
if you actually want an answer, you cannot do it this way
you have to rewrite it in terms of either log base ten, or the natural log
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[6^{2x+1}=5^x\\
(2x+1)\ln(x)=x\ln(5)\] then algebra
OpenStudy (misty1212):
oops typo
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[6^{2x+1}=5^x\\
(2x+1)\ln(6)=x\ln(5)\]

damn typos!!
OpenStudy (misty1212):
third time is a charm
OpenStudy (misty1212):
solve that equation for \(x\) using algebra
remember that \(\ln(6)\) and \(\ln(5)\) are just numbers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can u show me the working? @misty1212
OpenStudy (misty1212):
yeah it is all algebra

OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[(2x+1)\ln(6)=x\ln(5)\] distribute
\[2\ln(x)x+\ln(6)=x\ln(5)\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
subtract \(2\ln(6)\ln(x)\) from both sides
\[\ln(6)=x\ln(5)-2\ln(6)x\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
factor out the \(x\)
\[\ln(6)=x(\ln(5)-2\ln(6))\]
OpenStudy (misty1212):
then divide to solve for \(x\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thnx @misty1212
