5^(3x-1)=17
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Get the log of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"log%285%5E%283x-1%29%29+=+log%2817%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%5E%283x-1%29+=+log%2817%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-1%29%2Alog%285%29+=+log%2817%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x-1+=+log%2817%29%2Flog%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x+=+1+%2B+log%2817%29%2Flog%285%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+1%2F3+%2B+log%2817%29%2F%283%2Alog%285%29%29\"
