Could you help me solve this please?
a) 9^(7-3x) =5
(7-3x)*log(9) = log(5)
7-3x = log(5)/log(9)
7-3x = 0.7325
3x = 6.2675
x = 2.0892
------------------------
b) log0.135
is the answer -0.8696
Yes, or -0.8697 if you round off
-----------------------------------

c) log(7,22) = log7(22) = log(22)/log(7) = 1.588
is the answer: 1.588

Could you help me solve this please?

a) 

b)        <<<--- To solve it, apply your calculator or computer . . .  Or apply special tables for logarithms, if you have it. 
                               It is the only way in this case.  // The other way is to expand it in series, but nobody will do it in our days.
                               When you ask other people to do it for you, you simply shift/move your work to their shoulders. 
                               It is not a job for tutors. It is your work.
is the answer -0.8696

c)       <<<--- Apply the formula for the base change for logarithms,  ,  and you will get  =  with decimal logarithms.

                        See the lesson Change of Base Formula for logarithms in this site.
                              
is the answer: 1.588
