To solve a logarithmic equation, we may simplify or rewrite it using the properties of logarithm.
For the given problem , we may apply the property:
The "log" cancels out which we need to accomplish on the left side of the equation.
Raising both sides by the base of 3:
Taking the square root on both sides:
Rounded off to three decimal places:
.
Plug-in the x-values to check if they are the real solution:
so x = 11.845 is a real solution.
Now let
so x = -11.845 is a real solution.
So, x= 11.845, x = -11.845 are both solutions.
