Best Answer

6^x = 5 Raise both sides of this equation to the power of 3

( 6^x )³ = 5³ Simplify the left side using the rule ( x^a )^b = x^ab and simplify the right side.

6^3x = 125 Multiply both sides of the equation by 6²

6^3x · 6² = 125 · 6² Simplify the left side using the rule x^a · x^b = x^a^+b and simplify the right side.

6^3x+2 = 4500
