  1. Let logbase2n 1944 = x

    (2n)^x = 2^x * n^x = 1944

    n^x = 486*2^1/2

    2^x * 486*2^1/2 = 1944
    2^x = 4*2^-1/2 = 2^3/2
    Therefore x = 3/2

    logbase2n 1944 = 3/2

    (2n)^3/2 = 1944
    Take the 2/3 power of both sides
    2n = 155.76
    n = 77.88

    n^6 will be quite large.

    See if you agree. I may have goofed somewhere

    here is the question: log5(x-4)= log7x solve for x. These are just base 10 logs. log100 = 2 This equation has the same format as log 40 = log (2x20) Since both sides have log base 10, you divide by log base 10 and end up with
