Mike is working on solving the exponential equation 37x = 12; however, he is not quite sure where to start. Using complete sentences, describe to Mike how to solve this equation.
Hint: Use the change of base formula: log base b of y equals log y over log b.

Respuesta :

Answer:

x =12/37

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

 37x = 12

    [tex]\frac{37x}{37} = \frac{12}{37}[/tex]

2) cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator.

 x = [tex]\frac{12}{37}[/tex]

Solution

x = [tex]\frac{12}{37}[/tex]

the answer is 0.688

use the change of base formula logy/log b to find the answer.
