Question 968281: -20=-3(6)^4-x is asking me to solve , and I first divided by -3 but after that I got confused on wether I should introduce a log or not because if I do I think it will make the problem harder.

Assume the problem is:

dividing by -1 gets rid of those negatives, and we have

the log equiv of exponents

find the logs using you calc
1.05888 = 4 - x
x = 4 - 1.05888
x = 2.9412
:
:
Check this on your calc by substitution 2.9412 for x in the original problem
