Final answer:
The student's equation (13 + 4x = 356) is linear and not in a form that requires conversion to logarithms. To solve for x, subtract 13 from both sides and divide by 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to convert the equation (13 + 4x = 356) into logarithmic form. However, the equation provided is a linear equation and not an exponential or logarithmic equation for which a logarithm conversion would be relevant. When you have an exponential equation of the form a^x = b, you can take the logarithm of both sides to solve for x, sometimes using properties such as the logarithm of a number raised to an exponent, which is the product of the exponent and the logarithm of the number (log(a^x) = x *log(a)). In the context of your question, to solve for x, simply isolate x by subtracting 13 from both sides and then dividing by 4:
x = (356 - 13) / 4
While logarithms are useful for solving equations where the variable is in an exponent, they are not used for solving simple linear equations.
