Question 299885: Solve the equation:
Please note that (x-1)is a subscript and lower on the equation so just as the carrot ^ denotes an exponent (squared, cubed, etc.) I wasn't sure how to denote a subscript.
Log(x-1)64 = 6

log%28%28x-1%29%2C64%29+=+6
%28x-1%29%5Elog%28%28x-1%29%2C64%29+=+%28x-1%29%5E6
+64+=+%28x-1%29%5E6
Taking the sixth root of both sides:
+2+=+x-1+
+3+=+x+
