**
1. 5^(−3x−2)=1/78125=78125^-1
Take log of both sides
(-3x-2)log 5=(-1) log 78125
(-3x-2)/(-1)=- log 78125/log 5
3x+2=-7
3x=-9
x=-3
Check:
5^(−3x−2)=5^-7=12.8*10^-6
1/78125=78125^-1=12.8*10^-6
..
2. log3(4x−8)=1
convert to exponential form: base(3) raised to log of number(1)=number(4x-8)
3^1=4x-8
3=4x-8
4x=11
x=11/4
Check:
log3(4x-8)=log(11-8)=log3(3)=1 (log of any base to its base=1)
