Solution Solution

Transform 27 into 33

36-3x (1 /33 3-3

Therefore

6-3x -3

Add 3x 3 to both sides of the equation

6 3 3x

Divide both sides by 3

x 9 /3 3 Solution

Raise both sides of the equations to 3 exponents 81 34

6 . Find the exact solution of each equation Solution : Solution

Transfrom 32 to 25 Raise both sides to x exponents log2 (2-5 x 16 x4
