57x372xSolutionWe have 57x3 72x Now on taking logarithm of b
5^(7x+3)=7^(2x)
Solution
We have 5(7x+3) =72x.
Now, on taking logarithm of both the sides, we get log 5(7x+3) = log72x or, (7x+3)log 5 = 2x log 7 (as log mn = nlog m)
Or, (7x+3)= 2x(log 7)/(log 5) = 2x* (0.84509804)/(0.698970004)= 2.418123911 x or, (7-2.418123911)x =-3 or, 4.581877089x = -3 so that x = -3/4.581877089=-0.654753486 or, x = -0.655 ( on rounding off to 3 decimal places).
