1. , well short of doing logs or knowing the answer by looking, as i would expect someone who is 17-18 years old to do (i have no idea how old you are), then do the following:

so, the two sides are equal, so 6x = 3, so x = 1/2.

2.

or

or or or
or or or
or or or
or or or .

3.

again, equating the 2 sides gives x = -1.
