3^x-1=24
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "If it's $\"3%5E%28x-1%29+=+24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "((x-1)*log(3) = log(24)
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Or,
\n" ); document.write( "3^x-1=24
\n" ); document.write( "3^x = 25
\n" ); document.write( "similar to above.
