9^x+3 and everything past 3 is the exponent 1+2x is the exponent and it all equals 50. Find the exact solution of the exponential equation in terms of logarithms.

I think this?

 

9+ 31+2x  = 50

32x  + 31+2x

32x +3 * 32x

4* 32x  = 50

32x  = 50/4 = 12.5   take logs of both sides

 

2x log 3 = log 12.5

2x = log12.5/log3

x = 1.1495
