SOLUTION: solve the equations by finding the exact solution. (a) 1/3x -1 = 1 x = (b) 1/3log(x)

SOLUTION: solve the equations by finding the exact solution. (a) 1/3x -1 = 1 x = (b) 1/3log(x) - log (10) =1

Question 635845: solve the equations by finding the exact solution. (a) 1/3x -1 = 1
x =
(b) 1/3log(x) - log (10) =1
x =
Note for problem a the entire 1/3 is x
Answer by butterbean0315(7) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
for a)1/3x - 1 = 1
*transpose(-1) and add it to 1
like this: 1/3x=1+1
*now it will become
1/3x = 2
*now divide both sides by 1/3
1/3=2/1/3 1/3
now cancel 1/3 on the other side and you will get

and your answer will be
