Question 331635
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Start by using the definition of logarithms.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y = \log_b(x) \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ b^y = x]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \log_3(3x\,+\,5)\ =\ 4\ \ \Rightarrow\ \ 3^4 = 3x\,+\,5]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3x\ +\ 5\ =\ 81]


Now just solve for *[tex \Large x]

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
