Question 31403
1) Take the log of both sides to get:
 (x+6)log6 = log7
x= (log7)/(log6)-6
x= 0.9540-6
x= -5.046

2) correct; you see that the exponent is "2".
So you write log = 2
Then you aswer the question; exponent that produces what?
Answer: y
So you write it as log y = 2
meaning "The exponent that produces y is 2".
