The solution for
\(x\) is approximately
\(0.285\).

To solve the equation
\(3 \cdot 5^(8x) = 573\) for
\(x\), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 3:


\[5^(8x) = (573)/(3)\]

Simplify the right side:


\[5^(8x) = 191\]

2. Take the logarithm (base 5) of both sides:


\[8x = \log_5(191)\]

3. Solve for
\(x\):


\[x = (\log_5(191))/(8)\]

Now, use a calculator to find the numerical value for
\(x\):


\[x \approx (\log_5(191))/(8) \approx (2.278753601)/(8) \approx 0.2848442001\]

Therefore, the solution for
\(x\) is approximately
\(0.285\).

The question probable may be:

"Find the value of x in the equation:
3 * 5^((8x)) = 573 "
