23 to the power of x is equal to 6. Since the outcome is less than the number were multiplying then x is less than 1. This means X could be a negative number or a number between 0 and 1. When we multiply 23 to the power of a negative number the result will be 1/20 to the power of *the positive of the number we used*
I don’t know the exact formula used but 23 to power of negative 24 and 23 to the power of .6 are close to 6.
