- - To Start, Divide both sides by 10


(10(3^x))/(10) = (810)/(10)

- -
Solve For The Exponent:


3^(x) =81

- - Now use log to solve:


log(3x)=log(81)


x*(log(3))=log(81)


x= (log(81))/(log(3) )


x=4

~Hope this helps

3^x = 810/10
3^x = 81
Since 81 has a perfect fourth power of 3, which is 3*3*3*3 = 3^4 = 81
3^x = 3^4
You can easily remove the similar bases (which is 3) and bring down the exponent.
x = 4
