Question 167606
Don't stop there.
{{{3x-1=log(10,9)}}}
{{{3x=1+log(10,9)}}}
{{{x=(1+log(10,9))/3}}}
From a calculator,
{{{log(10,9)=0.95424}}}
{{{x=(1.95424)/3}}}
{{{x=0.651}}}
.
.
.
Check the answer.
{{{10^(3x-1) = 9}}}
{{{10^(3(0.651)-1) = 9}}}
{{{10^(.953) = 9}}}
{{{8.974=9}}}
Close enough since we rounded off.
