Solve for X using logs:
\n" ); document.write( "3^(x-1)= 2^x
\n" ); document.write( "take log of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "(x-1)log3=xlog2
\n" ); document.write( "(x-1)/x=log2/log3≈.631
\n" ); document.write( "x-1=.631x
\n" ); document.write( "x-.631x=1
\n" ); document.write( ".369x=1
\n" ); document.write( "x=1/.369≈2.710 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
