Mike is working on solving the exponential equation 37x = 12; however, he is not quite sure where to start. Using complete sentences, describe how to solve this equation.
37x = 12
Take the log of each side.
log(37)x = log(12)
By a log property, we can write :
x log(37) = log (12)
Divide both sides by log(37)
x = log (12) / log(37) = about 0.688
