Hi there! :)


\large\boxed{z = 1.764}


10x^((2z/3)) = 15

Rewrite as a logarithmic equation using this format:


a^(b) = c \\\\log_(a)c = b

In this instance:

a = 10 (log is by default base 10)

b = 2z / 3

c = 15

Rewrite as the log equation:


log 15 = 2z/3

Evaluate log (15):


1.176 = 2z / 3

Multiply both sides by 3:


3.528 = 2z

Divide both sides by 2:


z = 1.764
