Question 1147645: Hi The other day I came up with the following equation and
I am absolutely stumped as to how to solve it.
2 raised to the X power =6X
I used a graphing calculator
which gave me two solutions:
X=0.19 or X=4.88 (approximately)
But I have no idea how to use
Algebta/Logs to solve for X.

I was wondering if you could help.
Thanks

There's no algebraic solution.
Graphing and iterative methods can be used.
