EDIT 1/2/18, to the student:
I will get you started, and you should strive to figure out how I got to the solution on your own.
There may be a more efficient way to solve… this is just how I did it:
—> (by taking nth root of both sides, then mult by 'a' on both sides)
Now starting with

Substitute for 'b'


Take log() of both sides:


so x = n + 1
