Explain how to solve 3^x-4=6 using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b. include the solution for x in your answer. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

x = log 10/log 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3^x - 4 = 6

3^x = 10

We take log base 3 of both sides since log_3 3^x is simply x.

log_3 3^x = log_3 10

x = log_3 10

We have an answer for x, but it is a log base 3. We want log base 10.

Now we use the change of base formula.

log_b y = log y/log b

x = log 10/log 3

-2 is the right

you can first factor out the n to get n(1+5). we know that 1+5 is 6, so we just have 6n.
