Rewrite as an equation.log3(9)=xlog3(9)=xRewrite log3(9)=xlog3(9)=x in exponential form using the definition of a logarithm. If xx and bb are positive real numbers and bb does not equal 11, then logb(x)=ylogb(x)=y is equivalent to by=xby=x.3x=93x=9Create equivalent expressions in the equation that all have equal bases.3x=323x=32Since the bases are the same, the two expressions are only equal if the exponents are also equal.x=2x=2The variable xx is equal to 22.2
