Question

Solve each exponential equation.
6^x+2 = 12

Answer 1

The solution is x = 1/log(6)

Explanation:

Hi there!

First, let´s write the equation:

6ˣ + 2 = 12

subtract 2 at both sides of the equation

6ˣ = 10

apply log at both sides of the equation

log(6ˣ) = log(10) log(10) = 1

Apply logarithm property: log(xᵃ) = a log(x)

x log(6) = 1

Divide both sides by log(6)

x = 1/log(6)

The solution is x = 1/log(6)

Have a nice day!
