Answer:

x = 2 × 3 11/6 ≅ 2 × 7.5 15

Step-by-step explanation:

6 log₃ (0.5x) = 11

log₃ (0.5x) = 11/6

Here we make both sides the exponent of a base 3. It'll be the inverse function for the left hand side and cancel out the log.

3ˡᵒᵍ₃ ⁽ ⁰.⁵ˣ ⁾ = 3 11/6

0.5x = 3 11/6

Hence the answer:

x = 2 × 3 11/6 ≅ 2 × 7.5 15
