Question

Vocaloid · Answer

yo just want to point out that it's an exponential equation and the original problem is 37^x = 12

Vocaloid · Answer

to isolate x in this case, apply 
$\log_{37} $
to both sides

starting from the top we have

37^x = 12

$\log_{37} $37^x = $\log_{37} $12

on the left side, the log cancels out to get x, and you can simply plug in the right side into a calculator if you need a decimal answer
