Solve Exponential Equations Using Logs

To solve, 16^5x = 64^x+7, what would be the correct set-up?

There is more than one correct answer.

• 4^4(5x)=4^16(x+7)

• 8^2(5x)=8^8(x+7)

• 4^2(5x)=4^3(x+7)

• 2^4(5x)=2^6(x+7)

Solve.

9(e^x) - 31 =23

• x = 1.79

• x = 4.21

• x = -3.5

• x = 1.27

Solve.

2(16^x+6) - 8 = 35

• -4.67

• -4.89

• -2.93

Rewrite the exponential as a log.

2^3x+1 = 12

• ln(2)= 3x+1

• log₂(12)= 3x+1

• ln(6)=3x+1

• log₁₂(2)= 3x+1
