You can put this solution on YOUR website! Could you please solve this sum :
32 to the power x = 2 ; find x
-----------------
It's not a sum.

--------
Solve for x
x*log(32) = log(2)
x = log(2)/log(32)
x = 0.2
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 32^x = 2 ; find x
We know that 32 = 2^5, so we can write it
2^(5x) = 2^1
Bases are equal, exponents are equal
5x = 1
x =
