<PRE><B>Question 700997</B>
Solve the following equation:

3log(x-1)=log8                   What I have tried to do:
                                 
                                 3log(x-1)=log8
                                 log(x-1)^3=log8
                                 (x-1)^3=8
----------------
Get the cube root of both sides.
x-1 = 2
x = 3

                       And now I could not solve it further.
                       By the way, the answer is x=3
