So in this case you'll want to have only terms of x on one side of the equality, and only numbers on the other. First, I'll be using the notation because that notation is aids. So! We have: Since we want only x on one side we 'd like to move the on to the other side of the equality. Clearly to remove the log on the right hand side, we want to subtract from the right. But in order to maintain the equality, we also want to subtract it from the left, so: Since we want just x on one side we can either:
>Divide by -3 and raise to the power 5>Raise to the power 5 and then simplifyIt's normally easier to divide first Now how to get rid of ? Well remember that we want to undo the log operation, and the opposite (or inverse) operation of log is "exponentiation", or raising to a power, in general if you have something like then So, in our case we can do: Does all that make sense?
