Urgent please help!!! -1 + 41log3(-3x) = 7 Isolate the log term by adding 1 to both sides: 41log3(-3x) = 8 Divide both sides by 41 log3(-3x) = 8/41 Use this rule of logarithms: The logarithm equation logBA = C can be rewritten equivalently as the exponential equation A = BC -3x = 38/41 Divide both sides by -3 x = (38/41) ÷ (-3) x = -(38/41)÷(31) Subtract exponents of 3: x = -38/41-1 x = -38/41-41/41 x = -3-33/41 x = -1/(333/41) x = -.413024273, approximately Edwin
