Solve for x:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Log%5B5%5D%282x-7%29+=+3\"$ Rewrite this in exponential form: $\"Log%5Bb%5D%28x%29+=+y\"$ converts to $\"b%5Ey+=+x\"$ , so...
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Log%5B5%5D%282x-7%29+=+3\"$ ---> $\"5%5E3+=+2x-7\"$ Substitute $\"5%5E3+=+125\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"125+=+2x-7\"$ Add 7 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"132+=+2x\"$ Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+66%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
