Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
logs (8 - 3x) = log20
Since we are taking the log on each side
log a = log b then a = b
8 -3x = 20
Subtract 8 from each side
8 -3x-8 =20 -8
-3x = 12
Divide by -3
-3x/-3 = 12/-3
x = -4
Answer:
[tex] \boxed{\sf x = -4} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf Solve \: for \: x \: over \: the \: r eal \: numbers:[/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies log(8 - 3x) = log 20[/tex]
[tex] \sf Cancel \: logarithms \: by \: taking \: exp \: of \: both \: sides:[/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies 8 - 3x = 20[/tex]
[tex] \sf Subtract \: 8 \: from \: both \: sides:[/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies 8 - 3x - 8 = 20 - 8 [/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies - 3x = 12 [/tex]
[tex] \sf Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 3:[/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies \frac{-3x}{-3} = \frac{12}{-3} [/tex]
[tex] \sf \implies x = - 4[/tex]
