Okay, for this problem we're solving four log problems.
00:12
Letter a is 2.
00:14
Log base 3 of x equals log base 3 of 32 plus log base 3 of 2.
00:25
So on the left side, i get log base 3 of x squared.
00:30
On the right side, i get log base 3 of 64.
00:34
So i get x squared is 64.
00:38
Log base 3 on both sides, i can set their insides equal, or you could say i take 3 and raise it to the both sides, and that'll cancel the log base 3.
00:51
Anyway, i get to here, x squared to 64.
00:54
So x is plus or minus 8, but since i start this problem with a plain x inside, the negative 8 won't work.
01:04
So x equals 8 is the only solution.
01:08
Letter b says 3 .3.
01:10
Three halves, log base 7 of x is log base 7 of 125.
01:18
I can't set these two things equal until it's just a log.
01:22
The three halves can't be outside.
01:24
So i bring it in as an exponent.
01:26
Log base 7, x to the three halves equals log base 7, 125.
01:33
So x to the three halves is 125.
01:37
And x is 125 to the 2 thirds, which is 25...
