How do I solve log(3x + 2) = 3?

Verified Answer :

Answer:

If we solve the equation \(log(3x+2)=3\) we get that \(x=332.67\).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to remember that the logarithm is the inverse operation to exponentiation, so we have that:

                                         \(c=log_{b}\ a\ \Longrightarrow\ a=b^{c}\)

If the base \(b\) doesn't appear explicitly it means that the logarithm is in base 10.

Going back to our equation we have that:

                               \(3=log_{10}(3x+2)\ \Longrightarrow\ (3x+2)=10^{3}\)

                                                  \(3x+2=1000\)

                                                       \(3x=998\)

                                                      \(x=332.67\)
