The steps for solving the equation 162x = 8x 3 are shown below, but in a
jumbled order.
28x = 23x - 9
162x = 8x - 3
x = - 9/ 5
8x = 3x - 9
(24)2x = (23)x - 3
5x = -9
a) Copy the steps into your notebook, rearranged in the
correct order.
b) Write a brief explanation beside each step.

So when you take the log of something, you are getting back an exponent.The two equations below are two different
ways to say the same thing, but the first is an exponential equation, and the second is a logarithmicequation.
Note thatbis called thebaseof the log, and must begreater than 0(so we dont have to deal with complex numbers).
Also, the base cant be 1, or the equations wouldnt be exponential or logarithmic.
Theyin the log equation is called theargumentand it must begreater than 0, again, to avoid complex numbers.
