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]
